Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 June 2026

Debate

Sporting Events Bill [HL]

Contribution

Rather than the monopoly preferred by the organisers, who would want a monopoly, two individuals who meet on Facebook or peer-to-peer platforms such as StubHub—which provide much-needed liquidity to all manner of ticketed events—could be assured between themselves and we could streamline a regulated process. Let us regulate rather than ban the secondary market, while placing the onus on the organisers to enforce identity checks at the outset to stop the bots.
