Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

I am not intervening to fill in the rest of the parrot sketch—I bore my children with that far too often. While considering new clause 3, hon. Members have raised the question—we also debated this in Committee—of whether a regional sunset clause would really be a good idea, because people who moved from a region in which there had been no switchover to a region in which switchover had been completed would be disadvantaged by being told, ““Tough, you’ve missed your chance; you don’t get any assistance.”” Surely the point of the Bill is that those who need assistance will get it, rather than being denied it by the accident of moving from point A to point B. Have our deliberations led the hon. Gentleman to decide to withdraw new clause 3?
