Debate

Draft Statutory Guidance on the Meaning of “Significant Influence or Control”

Contribution

That this House resolves not to approve the draft Statutory Guidance on the Meaning of “Significant Influence or Control” in the Context of the Football Governance Act 2025, as it creates uncertainty regarding the eligibility criteria; increases the likelihood of legal and ownership challenges; creates a conflicting regulatory regime for the licensed football clubs; and has the potential to damage the financial success and growth of the regulated leagues. Relevant document: 41st Report from the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee
