The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has had recent discussions with UEFA on the Football Governance Bill.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

The Secretary of State and I have met with clubs, leagues, governing bodies, fan groups and many other stakeholders from across the game on numerous occasions to discuss the Football Governance Bill. Most recently, we held a series of meetings in March 2025 including with the Premier League, the English Football League and the National League. This is in addition to frequent, regular meetings that officials in my department have with these and other important stakeholders.
