Debate
Sporting Events Bill [HL]Contribution
Finally, I have suggested that we remove the words “must be likely to” leave a sports legacy. If the Government feel that they need to qualify leaving a sports legacy from holding a major international event, we have a serious problem. It is not “must be likely to”: it will leave a sports legacy. If it does not leave a sports legacy, we should not be supporting it. The same is true in the context of the social benefit, which comes under my Amendment 20.
