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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent progress her Department has made on introducing an independent football regulator.

This Government is committed to putting fans at the heart of football and making sure our national game has a sustainable financial future.

The Government has committed to bringing forward legislation to establish an Independent Football Regulator, with the Football Governance Bill announced as part of the King’s Speech in November 2023.

As we work at pace to progress the legislation, we are continuing to engage with the FA, the Leagues, and fan associations to make sure we design the best regulator possible.
