Proceeding contribution from Sharon Hodgson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 March 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Secondary Ticketing.


Secondary Ticketing

I am very grateful to the Minister for giving way again, and I realise that we are operating a pincer movement on him at the moment. One of the responses that the Secretary of State gave at the meeting the hon. Member for Hove and I had with him was that the issue could be looked at again if market failure, and not only criminality, was demonstrated. The Minister mentioned the investigation by the OFT, which I wrote to following the ““Dispatches”” programme to ask it to look at market failure. He cannot go into such details perhaps, but I think that the OFT will find demonstrable market failure, so would the Government then look at this again?
