Debate
Draft Statutory Guidance on the Meaning of “Significant Influence or Control”Contribution
Can the Minister satisfy the House that all the key elements—critical flexibilities, stop the clock, completeness gates, working days and warning notices, coupled with encouraging withdrawals—are necessary to enhance inward investment, which is what we all want, and the growth of professional football? If so, why are they not published before the guidance? Does she agree that they are absolutely essential to the success of the EFL and the Premier League?
