Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

We believe that the top five tiers is a sensible and proportionate place to draw the line. It strikes the right balance between the benefits of regulation against the capacity to be regulated and the regulatory burden that comes with being in scope. However, if circumstances change and the Secretary of State feels that the National League North and the National League South would benefit from being within scope of the regulator, the Secretary of State is required to conduct an assessment and act accordingly.
