Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 62, in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Maude, would constitute a strengthening of a duty. We think the Bill already appropriately conveys the regulator’s priorities and provides a check and balance on when and how it should intervene. While we absolutely need to ensure the continued success of our leagues, we equally do not want a regulator that is too scared to act as necessary to deliver the sustainability of our clubs.
