Football: Insolvency
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to Lord Justice Hickinbottom's judgement in Sisu v. Coventry City Council, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to reform the Football Creditors' Rule.
- Answer
-
The football authorities have made significant moves over recent years to get clubs on a stronger financial footing, principally through the introduction of financial fair play rules, minimising the need for football to rely on the Football Creditors Rule in cases of club insolvencies. The Government keeps the situation under review.
