Current Petitions

I propose that we close the petition under rule 15.7 of standing orders. I note that the Scottish Government is minded not to change the existing legislation against ticket touting. I put on record my disappointment at the pessimism that the Scottish Government seems to be expressing about international football games not reaching their maximum attendance. The committee has dedicated time to considering the future of Scottish football. We aspire to a time when all internationals being held in Scotland reach their maximum gate. We might have to review the issue in future to ensure that there is no increased prevalence of ticket touting outside international and domestic games in Scotland.
