Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

Requiring the regulator to pay attention to match attendance and sporting competitiveness would, I hope, encourage a more growth-minded regulator. That is why my Amendment 7 seeks to expand the definitions in subsection (3). It does so not by concocting some awkward, obstructive or restrictive definition but merely by inserting the expanded definitions that the Government themselves have set out elsewhere. The definitions used in my amendment are to be found on page 20 of the Explanatory Notes published by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
