Mr. Bill Cox:

On the implementation of the guarantees, we acknowledged in the submission that there are questions about the implementation of the guarantees offered by some of the platforms and that includes some of the matters referred to by Deputy Rock so I do not think there is any foundation to that criticism.

Second, on the issue of the information we included in the submission about the U2 and Coldplay concerts, we asked for that information from the primary ticket seller, Ticketmaster, and from the three main platforms. They did not know what use we would make of that information and how we aggregated it and in some respects the information was not favourable to their cause because it showed a higher level of resale than we would have expected from our monitoring of the platforms. It may be that someone should go in. I have no reason to doubt the information they provided but if the Deputy wishes to doubt it that is his prerogative. We are not enforcers. We cannot go into those bodies and tell them to show us their books and IT systems. That is a role for someone else. As the Deputy will probably be aware the now deposed New York Attorney General did that for the ticket sector in the US and he had the powers to do it. We do not have those powers but I have no reason to doubt the validity of the information they have provided in this case. That is a road we should be careful about going down in my personal view.

There was a question on whether we have had any threats to leave. We certainly have not had any threats that companies would leave, that it is not to say they will not but no one has said that to us in the course of our meetings.
