It is always a great pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Faulkner of Worcester, on any matter regarding sport because of his great expertise in these matters. I shall pick up some of the points he has made that I think require further consideration. The House should be grateful...

I realise that my noble friend may not be able to give me an answer immediately, but will the name of the purchaser appear on the ticket?

I still cannot find reference to the extensive debate that we are apparently supposed to have had on this in the previous Sitting. The Minister invariably gives extremely helpful replies—at least, he has until now. I am inclined to say, ““Five out of 10 and see me afterwards””. He did not deal at all...

I still have not had an answer to the question of which view prevails if there is a dispute between Transport for London and the London Development Agency or, alternatively, who arbitrates.

I am simply puzzled about why the Minister is so resistant to including the security forces in the Bill. Perhaps we should consider the matter further before Report. I do not want to delay the Committee further now, but the wording seems strange.

The noble Lord provokes me into commenting about an issue on which I had decided not to intervene. The railway station to the south of the Palace of Westminster, Waterloo, is in a most appalling state. Anyone arriving there emerges into something that is unbelievably dirty, filthy and horrible. They are...

I am somewhat puzzled by what is happening here, because the proposed grouping on the list says that Clause 10 has already been debated. As I have already explained, I could not be here the other day because I was speaking in a debate on the Floor of the House, but I have had some difficulty discovering...

I am sorry that I was unable to attend the Committee last Tuesday. I was heavily involved in the Speakership debate on the Floor of the House. As my noble friend has said, Clause 6 is very short on detail. I am concerned that it seems to refer exclusively, in one sense, to the Commissioner of...

One should not believe everything, or perhaps anything at all, that one sees in various press reports on certain subjects. However, a dispute seems to have taken place. If it has been resolved, that is so much the better. If the noble Lord finds out anything further, he will no...

The Minister has not dealt with my point—that at the moment the clause deals entirely with the police, as does the noble Baroness’s amendment, but clearly the security forces will be involved. The fact that it is being overseen by a Cabinet Committee will not help—even, if I may say so,...
