On the question from the noble Lord, Lord Parkinson, we have been consulting major events industry bodies, government departments, arm’s-length bodies and regional representatives to ensure that we reflect on the very wide range of issues impacting major events, including the important ones on environmental sustainability raised during this debate. We plan to deliver this strategy within the next 12 months. For all these reasons, I ask that the noble Baroness, Lady Jones, withdraws Amendment 59.
