Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 June 2026

Debate

Sporting Events Bill [HL]

Contribution

I turn to Amendment 94, tabled by my noble friend Lord Whitty, which would require the Secretary of State to direct UK Sport and Sport England to produce reports assessing the impacts of climate change on major sporting events and related infrastructure within the Bill’s scope. These reports would also have to include proposals for adapting to those impacts. Although we agree on the intent, these are not necessary for all the reasons already set out. Furthermore, like government, UK Sport and Sport England are already working to ensure that environmental and resilience considerations underpin how we bid for and deliver major sporting events.
