Finally, Amendment 114 would require the regulator to publish a “statement of the outcomes” that the independent football regulator expects the clubs to achieve for them to meet the threshold requirements under Clause 18. Again, this is an important point regarding clarity. Only by being clear about what is expected of clubs will the regulator be effective in getting clubs to meet these requirements. So, again, this is a simple and constructive amendment and I hope the Minister will consider putting this duty in the Bill. She will have heard—and been struck by, as I was—the unanimity across the Benches of the Committee on this, so I hope she will look on these amendments favourably.
