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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if she will ask the Football Association to publish details of the number of cases of non-league football clubs penalised under player registration rules that have nonetheless been using the Whole Game System for player registration in each region of England; and if she will make a statement.

The policies and procedures for player registrations within football are independent of the government.

I would encourage anyone interested in player registrations and the Whole Game System to contact the FA in the first instance. If they are not satisfied with the response of the FA or require additional support, Sport Resolutions UK is an independent dispute resolution service available for sport in the UK.
