Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions his Department had with the Football Association on the changes to the Owners and Directors Test introduced on 1 August 2014; and if he will make a statement.
I meet regularly with the Football Association to discuss a range of issues, including the efficacy of the Owners’ and Directors’ Test. I expect that robust ownership rules should be consistently applied across the professional game with strong FA oversight.
