The Government urged the Premier League to 'get on with a deal quickly' after unveiling the White Paper for English football's independent regulator on Thursday.

Following Tracey Crouch's fan-led review into football governance, the House of Commons listened to details of how the proposed regulator will look and work.

Stuart Andrew, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Sport who revealed the White Paper plans to the House on Thursday afternoon, urged that the Premier League must come to an agreement with the English Football League regarding financial distribution soon.

Sportsmail reported on Wednesday that the Premier League were apprehensive, with major concerns that the forthcoming legislation will impact future overseas investment into the division.
