Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

I thank the Minister for that reply. I thought that at one stage he was going to say not ““open door”” but ““open wound””. Clearly he is impatient, and I can tell that he is in a bit of a Catch-22 situation because, for business reasons, it is important to get Bills through, but we really have to see the scheme before the parliamentary process is complete. It would be completely wrong for us not to consider that before the next stage of the Bill. I thought that the suggestion made by the noble Lord, Lord Howard, was a good one, because we want to see the emergence of the scheme before the parliamentary process is through. That said, I can see that the Minister is in difficulty and that he will be cracking a very firm whip—and no doubt the Secretary of State will do likewise. The best thing that I can do is to help the Committee to terminate its proceedings so that officials can get on with putting the scheme together. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 29 not moved.] Clause 6 agreed to. [Amendment No. 30 not moved.] Bill reported to the House with an amendment.
