International Women’s Day
My Lords and—why not, on today of all days?—my Ladies, I start by offering my congratulations to the noble Baronesses on their most excellent maiden speeches. I reassure them that we have all breathed that sigh of relief as we sit down when it is all ove

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, I refer the House to my register of interests, in particular my position as vice-chair of West Ham United, who play in the Premier League.
One of the privileges of speaking in this House is that we can talk not only to the present moment but

My Lords, I rise to speak to a number of amendments in my name in this group, but first I lend my support to the amendment tabled by my noble friend Lord Parkinson, which would allow the parties to contract for longer than a five-year period. I remain su

My Lords, I offer support for the broad approach of the noble Lords led by the noble Lord, Lord Birt, who have tabled the amendments in this group. I do not agree with every element of the proposed new process, but I appreciate that this idea, to replace

My Lords, I refer the House to my interests, as declared in the register. I support my noble friend’s amendments, which would remove parachute payments from the backstop.
I hope it will assist the House if I explain why I am so concerned about the inc

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support the Government’s Amendment 18, which introduces a regulatory principle focused on necessity, proportionality and minimising regulatory burden. The Government deserve credit for this amendment. It is an attempt to recognise the concern

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, my Amendment 25 seeks to address a key issue: how the new regulator will operate in practice and the transparency with which it will exercise its powers. But first, I welcome the Government’s decision to adjust the frequency of the Secretary of

My Lords, my noble friend Lord Moynihan has articulated the case for his amendments with great clarity. Without revisiting all the arguments made in Committee, my fundamental concern is straightforward: we must avoid inadvertently ceding control of Engli

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support Amendments 3 and 32, which would make the economic and social impact of a football club part of its corporate governance requirements. It has become something of a cliché to point out that football clubs are deeply woven into the fabr

My Lords, I refer the House to my interests as declared in the register. I begin by welcoming the positive engagement that many of us have had with Ministers and the department since Committee. It is clear that the Government have been listening and are

Football Governance Bill [HL]
I accept the noble Lord’s apology.
The hour is late, but as we debate this idea of a sunset clause, we should pause and reflect on what is truly at stake. We are all here during extra time because all of us—bar one, I think—love football. It is a cult

My Lords, before I speak to the amendments in this group, I want to address the accusation from the noble Lord, Lord Watson, that West Ham United has put its season ticket prices up mid-season. That is categorically untrue. We have the cheapest adult sea

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am grateful for the Minister’s response, although I confess that I remain far from reassured. The logic of the Government’s position appears to be that procedural correctness matters more than getting the right answer for English football. Co

My Lords, Amendment 322 would enable scrutiny of backstop decisions through merits-based review by the Competition Appeal Tribunal. I will also speak to my consequential Amendments 324 to 326 and 333 to 335. Let me seek again to give noble Lords a pictur

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am grateful for the contributions made by noble Lords on this group. To the noble Lord, Lord Addington, I say that, in my experience, if you cut some of the ropes on a parachute it certainly does not provide for soft landing; it results in a

As the noble Lord pointed out, wages have increased. Newly promoted Premier League clubs have an average wage bill of £115 million and transfer fees have gone through the roof. That is why the costs are fixed. If a club is relegated, it cannot terminate

I do not say that they do or do not. I am saying that, if they were not there, you would have to invent them. If a club is promoted from the Championship to the Premier League and cannot invest in its team to stay in that league, it is automatically almo

My Lords, I shall speak also to Amendment 312. These amendments would ensure that any distribution order affecting parachute payments is introduced with a three-year, rather than one-year, transition period, and that an order would come into effect only

My Lords, I thank the Minister for her response and for engaging with the points raised in this debate. However, it will not surprise her that I remain completely unconvinced.
This decision does not deliver certainty: quite the opposite. It enshrines
