Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 May 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.
Violent Crime Reduction Bill
The noble Lord, Lord Lyell, is describing a situation designed to go slightly wider than simply passing over money for a ticket. It is not designed to catch me passing on my ticket to my son or any other relative. However, some ticket touts frequently offer match tickets as purportedly secondary items in a transaction, as a way of getting around the current law. In other words, you pay £100 for a green and white scarf and get your match ticket free. It has been designed to catch that sort of scam. I doubt whether it is intended to be used to capture the passing on of a ticket to a friend or relative.
