Asked by: Andy Slaughter (Labour - Hammersmith and Chiswick)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will make it her policy to include measures to help tackle the resale of live event tickets in the forthcoming King’s Speech.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
