Proceeding contribution from Sajid Javid (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 21 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill.


Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill

Yes, and we should not do that. The hon. Member for Dudley North (Ian Austin) has had ample time in which to speak. The point that he is missing—this is why I was confused by the speech that he gave from the Opposition Front Bench—is that if the concern is about criminal and fraudulent activity, and activity that is clearly wrong, there are already laws in place for that. If those laws are not strong enough, or Members think that changes should be made to them, that is a completely different argument from what is being proposed today. One of the key proposals in the Bill is to limit the resale price in the secondary market at a premium of only 10% of face value.
