Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office on 2 December 2025 (HC92608), whether the Prime Minister’s recusal covers all matters relating to government policy on football or only the Football Governance Act 2025 and the Independent Football Regulator; and whether they will set out the full terms of the Prime Minister’s recusal.

I refer the Noble Lady to the Prime Minister’s letter to the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards of 12 November which states that in Autumn 2024 the Prime Minister agreed to recuse himself from decisions relating to the Football Governance Bill.
