Lord Pannick (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

I entirely accept that there are detailed regulations, in particular in relation to money laundering, but that is a far more specific area, where there is a government system and a whole army of people with expertise to assess those matters. The question is whether we wish to make it a function of the independent football regulator to have a whole department that is concerned with this. I see the force of the principle, but I remain sceptical about it in practice.
