Written Answers
Prime Minister: Members' Interests
Asked by: Alex Burghart (Conservative - Brentwood and Ongar)
Tuesday 23rd June 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, With reference to the answer of 9 December 2025, to Question 96788, on Prime Minister's: Members' Interest, and further to Prime Minister's letter of 12 November, whether the Prime Minister’s current recusal specifically relates to (a) the then Football Governance Bill, (b) the ratified Football Governance Act, (c) appointments to the chairman of the Independent Football Regulator, (d) all appointments to that regulator, and/or (e) all matters relating to football.

Answered by Chris Ward

I refer the Hon Member to the answer of 2 December 2025, PQ 92608.

Independent Football Regulator
Asked by: Alex Burghart (Conservative - Brentwood and Ongar)
Friday 22nd May 2026

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the press release entitled Five Non-Executive Directors appointed to the Independent Football Regulator, of 19 February 2026, whether the Prime Minister was consulted on those board member appointments.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

Under the legislation, these appointments are made by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. The No 10 appointment unit was consulted in the usual way. The Prime Minister was not consulted on the appointments and has previously recused himself from decisions relating to the Football Governance Bill.

Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards: Football
Asked by: Baroness Finn (Conservative - Life peer)
Monday 2nd March 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office on 2 December 2025 (HC92608), whether the Prime Minister’s recusal covers all matters relating to government policy on football or only the Football Governance Act 2025 and the Independent Football Regulator; and whether they will set out the full terms of the Prime Minister’s recusal.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Captain of the King's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard (HM Household) (Deputy Chief Whip, House of Lords)

I refer the Noble Lady to the Prime Minister’s letter to the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards of 12 November which states that in Autumn 2024 the Prime Minister agreed to recuse himself from decisions relating to the Football Governance Bill.

Football: Tickets
Asked by: Peter Bedford (Conservative - Mid Leicestershire)
Tuesday 22nd July 2025

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the proposed football regulator on the average price of a premiership football game ticket.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The impact assessment for the Football Governance Bill estimates that the cost of regulation for all 5 divisions in scope of the regime will be between £103 million and £149 million, over a ten-year period. The Government does not believe that these costs will justify increases in ticket prices as they will be distributed proportionately across clubs over a significant period of time.

Football Governance Bill (HL)
Asked by: Louie French (Conservative - Old Bexley and Sidcup)
Monday 23rd June 2025

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 10 June 2025 to Question 55042 on Football Governance Bill (HL), what was discussed with UEFA on the Football Governance Bill at that meeting; and whether she plans to meet UEFA before the (a) third reading of the Football Governance Bill in the House of Commons and (b) independent football regulator is established.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Secretary of State and I continue to meet with clubs, leagues, governing bodies, fan groups and many other stakeholders from across the game to discuss the Football Governance Bill. This will continue throughout the Bill’s passage and beyond.

During my last discussion with UEFA on 11 November, we discussed a range of topics including the Football Governance Bill. UEFA expressed no concerns regarding the Bill.

Independent Football Regulator: Buildings
Asked by: Lord Booth (Conservative - Life peer)
Thursday 19th June 2025

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the annual costs of the office of the Independent Football Regulator.

Answered by Baroness Twycross - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Football Governance Bill Impact Assessment, which was approved under the last government, estimates that the operating costs of the Independent Football Regulator will be between £8.0m per annum and £10.2m per annum, for the first 10 years. While these are reasonable estimations of the levy charge they should not be treated as conclusive final costs. Final costs will be dependent on the scope of the Bill passed by Parliament and the work necessary to ensure clubs are complying with the regulatory regime.

These estimates have been adjusted to account for the impact of inflation, and future costs have been converted to their present value, as per Green Book guidance issued by His Majesty’s Treasury for Impact Assessments.

Football Governance Bill (HL)
Asked by: Louie French (Conservative - Old Bexley and Sidcup)
Tuesday 10th June 2025

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 23 May 2025 to Question 53237 on Football Governance Bill (HL), when she last met with UEFA to discuss the Football Governance Bill.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

I last met with UEFA on 11 November, after the Football Governance Bill’s introduction to Parliament. This is in addition to the regular discussions that officials in my department have with UEFA.
