The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the Football Governance Bill on Leicester City Football Club.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

The Independent Football Regulator will take a light-touch, targeted and proportionate approach. The requirements on individual clubs will reflect their circumstances, meaning they might vary based on factors like league, club size, and a club’s financial health or riskiness.

From our significant engagement with clubs and leagues, we expect the impact on most clubs to be modest.
