Of the MPs to win one of the twenty places in the Private Member's Bill ballot, most coverage has been secured so far by Tory MP Phillip Hollobone for his bid to ban the burqa.
But today - with the Wimbledon ladies' final taking place - Labour MP Sharon Hodgson has got some coverage for her Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill, which seeks to outlaw the practice of ticket touting.
She won second place in the ballot and her bill is scheduled to get its Second Reading next January.
She explains her reasoning for introducing the bill thus:
"What I want is legislation that makes it a criminal offence to buy up large numbers of tickets, with a view to selling them at a profit. If that wasn't allowed, people wouldn't do it."
I vividly remember when this issue came up in the early 1990s hearing the outspoken libertarian-minded Tory MP Teresa Gorman exclaiming that tickets touts should be praised for their enterprise - and my instinct is to agree with that point of view.
As long as a ticket - or any other item for that matter - is not sold on the basis of it being for the exclusive use of a named individual, why shouldn't the owner be able to sell it on? And if they bought it at a price which is effectively below the market rate and are able to make a profit when they sell it on, should they not be congratulated on making a wise investment?
Mrs Hodgson appears to have a basic objection to an individual buying items and selling them on at a profit. Last time I checked, this was the basic tenet of the capitalist system in which we live (and the system which created the glorious £999 TV which she claimed on the taxpayer, according to the Telegraph).
It is not entirely surprising that a Labour MP should view profit as a dirty word. But if this is the beginning of her quest towards a socialist utopia, where will it end?
