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 Culture, Media and Sport)

Football: Governing Bodies
Asked by: Louie French (Conservative - Old Bexley and Sidcup)
Friday 23rd May 2025

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when she last met representatives of (a) the Premier League, (b) the English Football League, (c) the National League, (d) UEFA and (e) FIFA; and whether she discussed the Football Governance Bill at those meetings.

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

The Secretary of State and I have met with clubs, leagues, governing bodies, fan groups and many other stakeholders from across the game on numerous occasions to discuss the Football Governance Bill. Most recently, we held a series of meetings in March 2025 including with the Premier League, the English Football League and the National League. This is in addition to frequent, regular meetings that officials in my department have with these and other important stakeholders.

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

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has had recent discussions with UEFA on the Football Governance Bill.

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

The Secretary of State and I have met with clubs, leagues, governing bodies, fan groups and many other stakeholders from across the game on numerous occasions to discuss the Football Governance Bill. Most recently, we held a series of meetings in March 2025 including with the Premier League, the English Football League and the National League. This is in addition to frequent, regular meetings that officials in my department have with these and other important stakeholders.

Football: Finance
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central)
Monday 19th May 2025

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with the (a) English Football League and (b) Premier League on the potential impact of the new deal financial package on grassroots football.

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

Ministers continue to discuss a distributions deal with the Premier League and EFL on a regular basis, with a clear expectation that any agreement should provide meaningful support across the football pyramid, including grassroots football. While the Football Governance Bill includes a backstop power for the independent regulator to intervene if a deal cannot be reached, this would only apply to distributions between the leagues. As such, Ministers continue to emphasise the importance of a voluntary agreement that delivers broader benefits, including investment in grassroots facilities and programmes.

Independent Football Regulator
Asked by: Richard Holden (Conservative - Basildon and Billericay)
Wednesday 7th May 2025

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to his Department's guidance entitled Public Bodies Handbook – Part 2: The Approvals Process for the Creation of New Arm’s-Length Bodies, whether his Department's public bodies team assessed the Independent Football Regulator against the requirement that the creation of a new arm's length body should only be considered as a last resort; whether the Department for Culture, Media and Sport provided evidence that alternative delivery models were considered; and which of the three tests in Chapter 2 of that guidance Independent Football Regulator met.

Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is currently working through the approval process to establish the Independent Football Regulator as an Arm’s Length Body, in parallel to the passage of the Football Governance Bill.

Football: Finance
Asked by: Peter Bedford (Conservative - Mid Leicestershire)
Wednesday 7th May 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 Football Governance Bill on the financial health of non premier league football clubs.

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

Clubs across the football pyramid have suffered from the consequences of reckless spending, unmanaged debts and poor ownership. That is why the government has introduced the Football Governance Bill which aims to improve the financial sustainability of all clubs in scope, including clubs outside the Premier League, by addressing these key issues, improving the systemic financial resilience of the whole football pyramid.

This Bill will take a proportionate and light touch approach to regulation to avoid undue burden and has been designed through extensive consultation with clubs across the football pyramid.

Football: Finance
Asked by: Peter Bedford (Conservative - Mid Leicestershire)
Tuesday 6th May 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 financial impact of the Football Governance Bill on the (a) administrative and (b) compliance activities of English football clubs.

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

The Regulator will work with clubs to ensure the new regulatory regime is light touch and streamlined. The government’s impact assessment estimates compliance costs to be between £22.8 million and £46.1million over ten years.

The largest clubs in scope are expected to experience an increase of between 0.5 full-time equivalents (FTE) and 2.5 FTE, depending on existing levels of compliance. We anticipate the smallest clubs in scope are expected to experience a total increase of between 0.1 FTE and 0.5 FTE, depending on existing levels of compliance.

Regulation will improve the financial sustainability of clubs and the same assessment estimated that the benefit of regulation would far offset the cost.

Football: Tickets
Asked by: Paula Barker (Labour - Liverpool Wavertree)
Tuesday 4th March 2025

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has had discussions with the (a) Premier League and (b) English Football League on the cost of football tickets; and if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of recent trends in the cost of football tickets on supporters.

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

Football is nothing without its fans and the Government is keen to see as many people as possible benefit from and enjoy the spectacle of live sport.

The matter of ticket prices is a commercial decision for individual clubs and leagues to take. However, the Government remains in conversation with stakeholders to ensure that fans are engaged properly.

This is also why the Government has introduced legislation to establish an Independent Football Regulator to protect and promote the sustainability of English football in the interests of fans and the local communities football clubs serve.

As a result of changes made by this Government, the Football Governance Bill will now explicitly require clubs to consult their supporters on ticket prices making sure their voice is heard on this key issue.

Leicester City Football Club
Asked by: Peter Bedford (Conservative - Mid Leicestershire)
Friday 28th February 2025

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the Football Governance Bill on Leicester City Football Club.

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

The Independent Football Regulator will take a light-touch, targeted and proportionate approach. The requirements on individual clubs will reflect their circumstances, meaning they might vary based on factors like league, club size, and a club’s financial health or riskiness.

From our significant engagement with clubs and leagues, we expect the impact on most clubs to be modest.
