Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 January 2025

Debate

Royal Albert Hall Bill [HL]

Contribution

I absolutely support the proposal that the decisions on which events will and will not be excluded are taken by a sub-committee, and that any tickets received as a result of changes proposed in the Bill may only be sold through a ticket return scheme perhaps does not go far enough, but I understand that we are constrained by the scope. What we are all trying to achieve is a solution where any seat-holder who is also a trustee is required to sell any seats they do not wish to use exclusively through the hall’s scheme while they are also a member of the council and a charity trustee. Only through such a provision would we clarify the currently murky situation where trustees of a charity should not obtain financial benefit.
