Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on Third Reading, as I serve on the Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport, which examined digital switchover in detail. I am also delighted that my hon. Friend the Member for Wantage (Mr. Vaizey)—I think that this is his first outing on a Bill of this type—has done so tremendously well. He has said that he regrets nothing. I remember that one of my former colleagues said ““Je ne regrette rien”” and his career took a bit of a nosedive following that. However, that will not happen to my hon. Friend, whose star is in the ascendant and will grow brighter by the day, particularly given his handling of the Bill. The programmes ““Lost”” and ““Big Brother”” were mentioned, and that shows the power of television and the media generally. I have not watched ““Lost””, but I understand that it is very good. I refuse to watch ““Big Brother””—never mind appear on the show, as another hon. Member has. The Bill is about people being able to watch television, irrespective of what they like and dislike. I hope that my preferences would not govern anybody else’s.
