Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 229 is largely similar to Amendment 228. However, it would require the regulator to carry out a full consultation with supporters of the club, representatives of the local community and the relevant competition organisers prior to making a decision on the financial impact of a sale or use as collateral. This would be an extensive requirement on the regulator that is likely to be overly burdensome. Given that there are further requirements to engage with supporters on any changes to heritage assets, including the home ground, this use of resources for consultation does not seem justifiable.
