Football Clubs: Ownership

- Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Davies of Oldham on 6 June (WA 44), whether their policy to protect and promote the interests of stakeholders was fully reflected and given effect to in the recent developments affecting the ownership of Manchester United Football Club.
- Answer
-
There is not a public interest consideration for football under the Enterprise Act 2002 and the Government have no plans to introduce one. While the Government are committed to ensuring that all football clubs are run in the best possible way, issues of ownership are ultimately a matter for the football authorities and clubs to decide on. However, the Government are aware of the views held by a wide range of stakeholders and will continue to monitor developments affecting the ownership of Manchester United Football Club as appropriate.
