Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 June 2026

Debate

Sporting Events Bill [HL]

Contribution

When it came to Japan in Tokyo 2020, they passed an Act on special measures concerning the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, along with secondary legislation. I do not doubt for one minute that secondary legislation will also be necessary. They had an Act on human rights reforms under pressure to align with the Olympic Charter’s non-discrimination principles. The Japanese Diet passed the first-ever national law to protect LGBT individuals from unfair discrimination.
