Mr Bayo Alaba

Independent — Southend East and Rochford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Independent Football Regulator

Contribution

Thanks to research by organisations such as the Black Footballers’ Partnership, we know that while roughly 43% of players in the English premier league are black, black people hold just 1.6% of executive and leadership positions in British football. Will the Minister agree to meet me and the Black Footballers’ Partnership to discuss how the Government can support football in closing this outdated gap?
