Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephanie Peacock and Rosie Wrighting

Thursday 28th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Stephanie Peacock]

The hon. Gentleman raises an important point. That is why we are continuing the work of the previous Government by introducing our own Football Governance Bill to hopefully put football on a sustainable footing.

[Rosie Wrighting (Kettering) (Lab)]

Kettering Town FC are currently the leading FA cup goal scorers, and are in the second round of the men’s FA cup on Sunday. Will the Minister join me in wishing the Poppies the very best of luck in that game? What steps is she taking to improve the financial resilience of local clubs such as Kettering Town FC?

[Stephanie Peacock]

I will of course put on record that I wish the team good luck and send them my huge thanks and congratulations. The work that we are doing to support grassroots football, through our multi-sport grassroots facilities programme, will hopefully grow the grassroots game.
