Phil Willis, the Liberal Democrat MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, has signed an early-day motion in the House of Commons which "urges" those law-enforcement agencies to mount inquiries, calls for greater transparency in the ownership of football clubs and urges HM Revenue and Customs to challenge in court the conduct of the administrators of Leeds United. Willis's motion expresses concern at "the lack of transparency over the financial affairs of Premier and Football League clubs" and urges Soca and the SFO "to investigate whether criminal activity, including money-laundering, has taken place".
