That is all the more important with regard to the specific question raised by the amendment. My noble friend is trying to ensure that there is no undue burden on certain clubs that also have to abide by UEFA rules and licensing requirements. Without reopening the can of worms on hybridity, it does bring up that question, since there will be an unequal impact between clubs that enter teams in international competitions and those that do not. It seems, from the way the Bill is constructed, that certain private interests will face differential treatment. So I am grateful to my noble friend for bringing this before us again and I look forward to the Minister’s response.
