Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what plans ​she has to help ensure greater accountability to football fans in relation to decisions made by the English Football League.

The Government understands the need for fans to have a say in football. That is why we have welcomed the Independent Fan Led Review of Football Governance and have endorsed in principle the primary recommendation of the review, that football requires a strong, independent regulator to secure the future of our national game.

The Government is working at pace to review the report in full, including detailed consideration of the recommendations made on improving fan engagement and accountability across the game.

The Government will continue to engage with stakeholders as we work towards issuing a full response to the report in the Spring.
