Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 November 2025

Debate

Football Governance Act 2025 (Specified Competitions) Regulations 2025

Contribution

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for what she set out. We had 10 minutes yesterday for the Urgent Question; it was not quite the opportunity to set out things at length. I am grateful for the further information she has given. The Secretary of State said, when that Urgent Question was taken in another place, that this was not a prime ministerial appointment. Given that, was she wrong to have written, on the submission sent to her on 19 March, that her “preferred candidate is Mr Kogan, subject to No. 10 giving the green light”?
