Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

This is Parliament’s opportunity to be a bit more assertive about the things that we would like to hear from the regulator on a regular basis, without relying on the discretion of the Secretary of State. That is not to second-guess what the present Secretary of State might request but to future-proof this and make sure that Parliament sets out those demands rather than the Government, with the Executive avoiding the need for Parliament to get what it wants. It is important that we do not miss the opportunity to be a bit clearer about what we would like here.
