Proceeding contribution from Andrew Gwynne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 April 2024. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill.
Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill
My hon. Friend is making a really important point. She rightly points out the degree of criminality at the highest end of the organisations that are responsible for the touting industry, and the lack of prosecutions. It is actually quite a good business proposition for them, is it not? It is relatively risk-free. They are probably more likely to get sentenced for being an international drug dealer than for selling the tickets.
