Sporting Events Bill [HL]

That is an extremely important and welcome intervention, but the Minister said “in due course”. Can she commit that that means during this Parliament?

I absolutely endorse that comment. As my noble friend, who has sat with me on this subject many times over the past five years, will know, ever since the Waterson report and many others, I have sought to table and introduce legislation—sometimes successf

To fail to commit for the whole of this Parliament, when we have years to run, is disappointing, given the strength of the comments made by the Prime Minister and other Ministers in recent months. It is vital that the Government indicate by the time we g

I am grateful for that intervention: I echo everything he said: everything he said, in terms of detail, is to be supported.
The second point is this: we have to be incredibly careful, in discussing this subject, about the autonomy of world sport. We a

My Lords, I thank the Minister for her quite extensive, albeit rapid-fire response. Many of us will read it in greater detail and come back with any questions after we have had that opportunity. I say to the noble Lord, Lord Bassam, that, while we might

My Lords, it may seem surprising that I oppose Clause 5 standing part of this Bill, given the fact that I have argued many times in your Lordships’ House for taking tough action against the abuse of the secondary market in ticketing. The reason I do is t

I anticipate that the Minister may say that it is quite difficult to broaden this without being specific. I have one thought, having listened to this debate and been very supportive of what has been said. If, for example, the R&A for the Open golf wa

My Lords, I thank everybody who has participated in the debate, particularly my noble friends in sport, the noble Baroness, Lady Grey-Thompson, and the noble Lord, Lord Holmes. I did not live up to their expectations; I was first of the losers, getting o
My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Earl, Lord Russell, on this occasion because he made some powerful points. Of the five key points I intended to make, he has alluded to four of them, so they are worth focusing on briefly prior to the Minist
Does the Minister agree that the issue is not a reduction in the oil and gas available? After all, in 1990, we were at just over 2 million barrels a day and so was Norway. By 2000, we were each producing just over 4 million barrels a day. Norway has cont

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his very kind opening remarks, which I greatly appreciate. It is good to be back for what is, as he says, always a constructive and convivial exchange of views with him. I am sure that that will continue to be the case,
My Lords, this instrument underpins the measures that we have already debated. It creates no new powers and His Majesty’s Opposition are supportive of it. More broadly, as the Minister knows, we do not believe that the Government can lower the structura
My Lords, we on these Benches fully associate ourselves with the opening remarks of my noble friend Lady Hoey following the appalling tragedy in Belfast. I move on from that, with great difficulty, to say that I welcome the fact that she has brought this
