Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Kirkhill (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 22 January 2007.
Gambling: Football
- Question
- My Lords, I put it to the Minister that my noble friend Lord Foulkes is correct in emphasising that the Government are interpreting a piece of EU legislation in a certain way. Other countries do not always take that stance. The outcome is certainly deleterious to the United Kingdom’s smaller football clubs.
- Answer
-
My Lords, as we have made clear to Football DataCo, the creation of any new intellectual property right would require strong and full justification and it would be very difficult for the Government to open up the whole case of the directive again to achieve agreement between other members of the European Union.
