Amendment 119 seeks to change the period during which the guidance may not be routinely revised from three to five years. I am trying to give the regulated clubs and competitions greater certainty through the change proposed in this amendment. This would bring the Bill into line with other regulators, such as Ofwat, which undertakes its price reviews for the water industry every five years. We have accepted that five years is the appropriate time period for the water industry to work, so why should not the football industry be given the same certainty and length of time as other sectors?
