Musikbranschen besviken på förslag om förbud mot andrahandsförsäljning av biljetter

Musikbranschen har uttryckt besvikelse efter att den brittiska regeringen endast inkluderade ett lagförslag om förbud mot andrahandsförsäljning av biljetter i onsdagens trontal.

Lagförslaget om förbud mot andrahandsförsäljning av biljetter presenterades i parlamentet den 13 maj som en del av trontalet. Företrädare för branschen kritiserade beslutet att inleda med ett lagförslag snarare än primär lagstiftning, vilket de menar kommer att fördröja åtgärder i flera år genom ytterligare konsultationer.
