Sporting Events Bill [HL]Contribution
Regulations are intended to overlay event-specific, operational detail to ensure that the offences set out in the Bill are enforceable, workable and proportionate in the context of a particular event. The framework should also be agile: we must be able to respond efficiently and proportionately to accommodate changing operational requirements, such as scheduling changes or unforeseen changes to the use of venues. In these aims, I feel we are generally in alignment.
