Proceeding contribution from Lord Austin of Dudley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8 and G20 Summits.


G8 and G20 Summits

The Prime Minister has cracked jokes about his bilateral last night with Chancellor Merkel, but millions of people will agree with me that last night's performance was no laughing matter at all. Is it not time that the governance of the game was shaken up, so that we treat football as a sport, not as a business? Did the Prime Minister find time to discuss with President Sarkozy how he can follow his example and launch an inquiry so that we never have to witness that sort of performance again?
