Proceeding contribution from Gerry Sutcliffe (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 April 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Ticket Touting.
Ticket Touting
I agree wholeheartedly. I made the point about STAR because it is the organisation that DCMS and the Government have been talking to, but I am not against meeting representatives of the secondary market. If, as the hon. Member for Bournemouth, East said, we can bring them together in one body, fine—we will need to include the secondary market in the principles—but STAR is the organisation that we have talked to. It is an association, it has a logo and it is a recognised body, but my officials will be happy to speak to secondary bodies as well. Incidentally, STAR is calling together the industry for an event in June. I hope that that event will start to work through the discussions. I hope that I can attend, and I urge hon. Members to get involved in that process as well.
