UK sporting events bill returns to Lords after Commons passage
MPs passed the amended bill on November 4. It would create a common legal framework for hosting major events.
The UK House of Commons passed the Sporting Events Bill at third reading on November 4 after making amendments. The bill returned to the House of Lords, where the November 10 record notes that MPs had agreed to it with changes.
The bill would allow a common set of legal provisions to be applied to major sporting events held in the United Kingdom. It would also create powers to provide financial assistance for sporting events held in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
The bill began in the Lords and went through report stage in the Commons before its third reading there. The return to the Lords gives peers the opportunity to consider the Commons amendments. Parliament’s bill page records each stage, and the Commons transcript sets out the debate and the amendments discussed on November 4.
