As the noble Lord highlighted at Second Reading, this is a technology-neutral Bill. It is also a narrowly scoped Bill to help us successfully deliver major sporting events, with a focus on protecting commercial rights. Where there is a requirement to communicate a decision such as a ticketing authorisation in writing, it is not for the Bill to describe exactly how this should be done, nor, if carried out digitally, the technical standards that must be met from a cyber security perspective. We want to ensure that the framework is sufficiently future-proof, but we do not consider a regulation-making power of this nature to be appropriate or necessary in the context of this Bill.
