question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, further to their response to the Fan-Led Review of Football Governance which concluded there is a significant risk of financial failure at football clubs, what steps they are taking to address this risk pending the publication of their White Paper.
tabling member printed	Lord Pendry
uin	HL3508
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2022 answer text <p>His Majesty’s Government published its response to the recommendations made by the Independent Fan-Led Review of Football Governance in April 2022. We fully recognise the need for football to be reformed to ensure the game’s long-term sustainability. We are now taking the time to consider the policy response, and are continuing to engage with the football authorities and fan groups in the development of this policy. We remain committed to publishing a White Paper, setting out our detailed response to the fan-led review of football governance, and will set this out in due course. In the meantime, football authorities can take forward some of the reforms themselves, including financial redistribution, which we continue to urge them to do.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 01/12/2022 16:53:08 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to reduce the restrictions placed on football clubs wishing to upgrade their facilities.
tabling member printed	Lord Pendry
uin	HL3322
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2022 answer text <p>Many clubs choose to upgrade their facilities, or do so to meet league and safety requirements. All facilities for football clubs must meet the requirements prescribed by their league organiser, the relevant football authority, the Sports Ground Safety Authority, the relevant local authority, and legislation. This ensures that facilities, particularly stadia, are appropriate and safe for all. Football clubs may be subject to the same planning restrictions as any other business or community facility.</p><p>His Majesty’s Government confirmed in July that Premier League and Championship clubs wishing to introduce licensed ‘safe standing’ areas at football stadia can apply to do so from the beginning of the current season, increasing the range of options football clubs can offer their supporters when considering their facilities.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 23/11/2022 17:42:09 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government whether it is still their policy that children’s safety remains the priority of the Online Safety Bill.
tabling member printed	Lord Pendry
uin	HL2739
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2022 answer text <p>The strongest protections in the Online Safety Bill are to keep children safe online. To achieve this, the Bill will require all companies that are in scope to take robust steps to protect children from illegal content and activity on their services. In addition, services which are likely to be accessed by children will be required to provide safety measures for child users to protect them from inappropriate and harmful content or activity, such as pornography and bullying. If they fail to do so, they will be subject to tough enforcement action by the regulator, Ofcom.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 02/11/2022 15:33:21 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay
