Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

I must say to my hon. Friend that it is important that we choose carefully the language that we use. The Secretary of State admonished me when I made the mistake of describing Whitehaven as an experiment. My hon. Friends should use the word ““pioneer”” from now on, because phrases such as ““experiment”” and ““guinea pig”” invite criticism from Government Members, and I would not want any of my hon. Friends to be subject to such criticism.
