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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of implementing the recommendation of the Fan-Led Review of Football Governance on a transfer levy on premiership football clubs; and whether she has had discussions with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the matter of that proposed levy.

The Government published its response to the recommendations made by the Independent Fan-Led Review of Football Governance in April 2022. The Government recognises the need for the long-term financial sustainability of football clubs, throughout the football pyramid.

The Government will publish a White Paper on Football Governance reforms imminently, and it will set out our detailed plans to improve the financial stability and governance of football clubs across all leagues.
