Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

The Minister clearly makes the point that it is not a simple question of whether or not the kit, when moved from one place to another, will instantly work. Therefore, there may be a group of people who, when they move, will continue to need assistance, even though they have received it already in a different part of the country. I remind the Minister of what he said previously:"““the purpose of the Bill is to enable people who genuinely need help to receive it””.––[Official Report, Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill Public Bill Committee, 16 January 2007; c. 56.]" I hope that he will at least discuss with his officials whether that second tranche of help will be provided, if it is needed.
