Football Governance White Paper

Jamie Stone Excerpts

Thursday 23rd February 2023 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Roger Gale)]

I pay Jamie Stone the courtesy of calling him correctly.

[Jamie Stone (Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross) (LD)]

I associate myself and my party with the sadness expressed on the passing of John Motson.

Well done, His Majesty’s Government. I think Kieran Maguire, the host of “The Price of Football,” will be very pleased with what has been said today. I am the only Scot remaining in the Chamber, but I believe football is for everyone, on whichever side of the border they live. Scotland has gone some way down this road. I appeal for everything humanly possible to be done to co-ordinate with Scotland and Wales to make sure there is a universality of approach, because we can learn from each other to get it right.
