Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Danny Beales and Stephanie Peacock

Thursday 15th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[Danny Beales (Uxbridge and South Ruislip) (Lab)]

T3. Wealdstone FC is a fantastic, fan-led club in my constituency, but it is again facing an uncertain future because of protracted negotiations over the lease of their current ground. Does the Minister agree that it is vital that the landowner engages in good faith with the club, and will she meet me to discuss how we can give the club the stability and security off the pitch that they need to succeed on it?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Stephanie Peacock)]

I recognise the vital role that football clubs like Wealdstone FC play in the community. While stadium negotiations are primarily a matter for clubs and local authorities, I understand the importance of securing a future at Grosvenor Vale, and I would be happy to meet my hon. Friend to discuss how we can best support the club for the future.
