Amendment 92, also tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Holmes, would introduce a duty to produce a social value impact assessment that must be laid in Parliament before the Bill’s framework can be applied to any sporting event. This Government fully agree that our major sporting events should be expected to deliver real benefits to communities across the UK. That is why the Bill explicitly stipulates that a sporting event must be likely to bring social or economic benefits to the United Kingdom, or a part of it, for the framework to be applied.
