Football Clubs (Governance)

The shadow Minister is nodding; he has been through all this. Other demands include corporation tax exemptions for sports governing bodies, so that they can invest in the grass roots; tax breaks to entice international federations back to London, so we can increase our influence; and a levy on the betting tax—and so it goes on. I am determined to ensure that the money that we have as a Government is targeted at getting more people, particularly young people, playing sport. That remains my overriding priority. However, I will consider the demands that have been made.
