  Consumer Rights Bill - New Clause 16 - Guidance on How the Law Applies to Ticket Resellers
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  @ MP voted aye for guidance to be produced for those reselling tickets for events on the subject of complying with the applicable law. 
  @ MP voted no against the production of guidance for those reselling tickets for events on the subject of complying with the applicable law. 
  
  The majority of MPs voted against the production of guidance for those reselling tickets for events on the subject of complying with the applicable law. The target of the guidance would have been for example those reselling tickets for events such as concerts and sporting fixtures.
  
  MPs were considering the Consumer Rights Bill[1]. The proposed new clause rejected in this vote can be read in the official record[2]. The clause starts:
  
  :The Secretary of State shall issue guidance to all traders who operate as secondary ticketing platforms on the application of the [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/3134/contents/made Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013].
  
  The rejected clause goes on to specify what the guidance must contain and states it must include sanctions for failing to provide required information.
