Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 65, which seeks to mandate financial support from the Premier League to the women’s game, risks formalising what is already happening voluntarily and through market forces. The Premier League’s support for the women’s game is driven not by regulation or compulsion, but by a genuine desire and economic incentive to see it flourish. Turning this collaboration into a mandatory obligation could undermine the good will and partnership that has been so central to the recent success of the women’s game.
