Lord Pannick (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

Under Clause 22(6), the Secretary of State may make the regulations the noble Lord is concerned about only if requested in writing to do so by the IFR, so the Secretary of State does not have complete discretion. We would be creating a new system which may reveal defects and omissions in its operation, so surely it is sensible to have a power to amend it if defects become manifest.
