Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
In addition, although there is a consultation requirement before the IFR can attach or vary a DLC, there does not appear to be an explicit obligation on the IFR to allow a club or a league to make representations and offer commitments once the IFR has decided that there are facts that would in principle justify attaching or varying a DLC, but before the IFR has designed a DLC. The notice period comes after the IFR has investigated a potential issue and established an appropriate DLC. This significantly reduces the scope to offer other commitments, especially in circumstances where the issue identified by the IFR is time dependent, which is the purpose of my amendment to this clause.
