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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if she will commit to a deadline for introducing legislation for an independent regulator for English football.

The Queen’s Speech confirmed our commitment to an independent regulator for English football. A White Paper will be published in the summer that will set the details on the implementation of our football governance reforms, and we will legislate when parliamentary time allows.

We are working at pace to deliver these measures that will bring sustainable reform that ensures current and future fans continue to enjoy our national game.
