Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Bill

Commons debates

The hon. Member is nodding, and I suspect he would have liked that to make its way into the Bill in a stronger form than it currently has. I welcome the direction of travel of the commitment that...

Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Bill

Commons debates

Football Clubs in England: Financial Sustainability

Commons debates

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right, and I will come to that point. Without regulation, none of football can thrive. The premier league cannot thrive, nor can all the other teams that are not...

Football Clubs in England: Financial Sustainability

Commons debates
