Part of Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill - Commons Reasons and Amendments – in the House of Lords at 4:25 pm on 14 May 2024.
Lord Offord of Garvel:
Moved by Lord Offord of Garvel
That this House do not insist on its Amendment 104, to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 104A.
104A: Because protections for consumers in relation to secondary ticketing are adequately provided for under existing legislation (in particular Chapter 5 of Part 3 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Breaching of Limits on Ticket Sales Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/735)).
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
