As we heard from the noble Lord, Lord Ranger of Northwood, when you talk to fans about this Bill—and I am rather sceptical of many elements of it—they say, “I really want this Bill because I am determined that we are going to have ticket prices brought down”. That is the main thing they say. They say that they do not want any of this “nonsense”—maybe not the word used—around EDI or net zero and all that sort of stuff. As one of them said, “I want ticket price cuts, not bloody carbon cuts”. I thought that they had a point. As the Minister is very keen that we should be led by the fans on this, I suggest that we reject these amendments, because I can assure noble Lords that, in the fans’ priorities, it is not top; in fact, it is not relevant at all.
