New legislation featuring a number of technical changes to the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 has been introduced into Parliament.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has introduced the bill to ensure the proper implementation of measures relating to advertising, ticket touting and traffic. Increased fines for anyone caught illegally selling Games tickets - announced by the Home Office last week - is among the provisions included in the new legislation.

Other provisions include enabling the Olympic Delivery Authority to make temporary traffic regulation orders at short notice and an alteration to advertising and trading procedures. Hugh Robertson, minister for sport and the Olympics, said: "The London Olympic and Paralympic Games Act put legislative measures in place to ensure a smooth and effective running of the Games.

"This bill makes a small number of technical changes to the existing measures to enable us to deliver the Government's commitments to London 2012."
