Football: Finance
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the adequacy of current structures to protect the long-term financial sustainability of football clubs in England.

Despite the global success of English football, the game has fundamental governance problems that have led to excessive and reckless risk-taking at too many clubs. Ineffective regulation poses very real dangers to our national game, threatening the stability of the football pyramid, impacting fans across the country. The King’s Speech set out our plans to address this with legislation to establish an independent football regulator.

We will introduce this legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.

Football: Finance
To ask His Majesty's Government what is their policy on ensuring financial redistribution between the leagues and clubs in English football.

Despite the global success of English football, the game has fundamental governance problems that have led to excessive and reckless risk-taking at too many clubs. Ineffective regulation poses very real dangers to our national game, threatening the stability of the football pyramid, impacting fans across the country.
