Lord Markham (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, just to be clear for the record, no law was passed in this instance. In a matter of days the clubs quickly withdrew from the competition because, as my noble friend mentioned, it went down like a lead balloon and fans were up in arms. The Government were nowhere near it. That was a perfect example of where the clubs and the fans regulated themselves.
