Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

This will give the regulator the ability to go forward and be more efficient and effective because it will know what sustainability means. Even the Minister admitted last week that, in respect of the drafting of the Bill, the concept of sustainability is obscure and opaque. As we learned last week, what Ministers were saying in the Committee was different from what the impact assessment said, because the impact assessment is focused firmly on financial feasibility, efficacy and sustainability. For those reasons, I say that this is an effort to be helpful to the Minister.
