Debate

Sporting Events Bill [HL]

Contribution

In fact, the Gold Framework sets out that, when bidding for funding from the Government, event owners must demonstrate how they deliver against key government priorities. Environmental sustainability is explicitly stated to be one of these priorities in the framework. This means that impacts such as these must be assessed by the event organisers before we would even consider supporting their bid. A government decision to support a major sporting event also requires a robust business case in alignment with the Green Book and Managing Public Money guidance. These frameworks expect departments to consider environmental, social and distribution impacts.
