Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if she will commission a review of the role, responsibilities and financial compliance of football agents.
Answered by Tracey Crouch
The Football Association has responsibility for the regulation of intermediaries in the game. Their role includes proper investigation of any evidence of inappropriate behaviour. The integrity of sport is absolutely paramount, and the UK Sports Governance code, which the FA has signed up to, sets out clearly what we expect in terms of the highest standards of governance and transparency from all our sports governing bodies.
