Finally, I must highlight an irony in this debate. While we discuss how to best protect the women’s game from the adverse impacts of regulation, we are simultaneously debating how to impose new regulatory burdens on the men’s game. These burdens risk stifling the very investment and innovation that made the Premier League the envy of the world. The Minister mentioned growth in football. If you ask the French or Italians about their growth, it would be a very different story, so we must never be complacent.
