Sporting Events Bill [HL]

Moved by

Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

6: Clause 2, page 2, line 18, at end insert—

“(5A) Regulations made by an appropriate national authority under this section may not apply the advertising provisions and the trading provisions for a period that is longer than the specified period.

(5B) In subsection (5A), the “specified period” means a period of time that must—

(a) begin no earlier than the beginning of the period of 21 days ending immediately before the day on which the sporting event begins, and

(b) end no later than the end of the period of 5 days beginning with the day after the day on which the sporting event ends.”

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment would establish a maximum period in which the advertising and trading provisions of the sporting events framework can be implemented in relation to a particular event. This is consistent with the approach taken in Birmingham Commonwealth Games Act 2020 and the UEFA European Championship (Scotland) Act 2020.
