My noble friend Lord Watson of Invergowrie spoke passionately on his Amendment 78, along with my noble friend Lady O’Grady of Upper Holloway, the noble Lords, Lord Moynihan and Lord Addington, and the noble Baroness, Lady Brady. We recognise the vital role that football players play in the industry. It was helpful of the noble Lord, Lord Hayward, to point out that there are other people who work for football clubs, but it is the players who draw the crowds, viewership and revenues that come with this. I look forward to future discussion, ahead of Report, on the interesting points that all noble Lords raised. It was a particularly interesting point of consensus across the Committee.
