Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
There are bound to be setbacks. That does not mean that they are incompatible with sustainability or continued and, one hopes, renewed growth. It is odd that, when this Government constantly say that the most important thing is growth, they introduce a Bill to regulate one of our most successful industries and sectors and, in effect, say, “All we want to do is keep it going”. Where is the ambition? What of the employment that is created through football? It needs to be a lot more than sustainable.
