Mrs Sharon Hodgson

Labour — Washington and Gateshead South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 July 2025

Debate

Royal Albert Hall Bill [Lords]

Contribution

While I recognise that a lot of the seats have been bequeathed down through the generations, a lot of them are now sold on the open market for much more than what that £100 would fetch in today’s money, keeping pace with inflation. They are now assets because of the amount of money that can be gained from reselling them on the open market.
