The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of ticket price limits on the sustainability of football in England.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

Football ticket price limits are commercial decisions and a matter for football clubs.

The Independent Football Regulator will consider the pertinent factors to club sustainability as part of its first State of the Game report. This report must be completed within 18 months of the Secretary of State laying secondary legislation specificing the competitions in scope of the regime.
