Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

My amendments are about this: in company law, we expect a degree of governance—this is called the Football Governance Bill—and we do so as a safeguard for everyone. In the case of competition generally, it is about customers and shareholders; in this case, it is also about the fans, who are also the customers. We need a sensible governance structure—these are exploratory, probing amendments, to which my noble friend on the Front Bench will undoubtedly respond—so that we can get the balance right.
