Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sharon Hodgson and Lord Sharma

Tuesday 3rd March 2020 Commons Chamber

[Alok Sharma]

My right hon. Friend speaks from experience, having been a business Minister in the past. We are absolutely committed to making sure that we reduce burdensome regulation and red tape, but we need to make sure that we stick with the protections that are there for employees.

[Mrs Sharon Hodgson (Washington and Sunderland West) (Lab)]

T9. Following the conviction of two ticket touts in Leeds last week for fraud, what discussions has the Minister had with his colleagues in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport about including financial harm in the online harms White Paper?

[Alok Sharma]

I will make sure that my colleagues and I have the discussion. Perhaps the hon. Lady would like to share with my office the details of that case.
