Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

That is why this is a probing amendment. I do not expect it to be carried by the Committee, or the Government at a later stage. It is there because this is critical. We need stronger laws to cover ticket touting and that is what this is. It is ticket touting on the black market using modern technology to gain advantage simply for the touts and the platforms. Nobody else benefits. Among the smaller clubs, they get a big pay day, but it is not them which benefit, and it should be.
