Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

The noble Lord, Lord Pannick, touched on the Government’s issues around what the Premier League is doing at the moment, and he had a point. In fact, I think he proved the point we made on our side on the previous group of amendments. There is, however, a huge amount of work being done. Today, 90 clubs across the Premier League, English Football League and National League work with 36 police forces to provide young people with access to free weekly football sessions and education workshops in safe and supportive community environments.
