Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

Finally, on the noble Lord’s proposed new principle (m), the regulator should not be taking its lead from competition organisers. The reason for introducing this legislation is that regulation from industry has proven inadequate. The system is designed so that the regulator will not intervene if the required standards are being met. If clubs are meeting their threshold requirements through their compliance with the industry’s own existing rules, the regulator will not need to apply discretionary licence conditions.
