Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

The use of “broadcasting” here is increasingly antiquated and could lead, particularly as those changes accelerate, to ever narrower interpretation, including the revenue only from the sale of linear rights to broadcast matches in full. That could exclude significant extra revenue streams, to the detriment of clubs, so our amendment introduces concepts which we think are more up to date and reflect how rights to audiovisual football content are increasingly exploited.
