Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 April 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Ticket Touting.


Ticket Touting

The hon. Gentleman has raised this example, and it is worth work-shopping it a little, if I can use that term. If the ticket is sold, it is surely the responsibility of Wimbledon, in this case, to ensure that it is accompanied by a blue card, for example. In that way, the operator can ensure that the disabled place goes to a disabled person. I do not understand why the Government should be involved. There is a responsibility and a duty on the operator to ensure that disabled tickets are taken up by disabled people.
