Obviously, as per my Amendment 19, I am arguing that the leagues under scope should be in the Bill, which would render Clause 2(6) redundant, but the drafting of the Bill as it stands presents a rather perplexing paradox, even without my Amendment 19. It rightly assumes that the Football Association and the independent football regulator, among others, would have a view on any future changes to the competitions that are regulated, but under that assumption, would they both not have an opinion with regard to the first regulations establishing the relevant competitions when the Secretary of State exercises that power for the first time?
