We can all support the intention to improve the UK's digital infrastructure, but surely we should be doing more to protect and support creators, artists and the creative industries—particularly those on the front line of digital innovation. On piracy, does the Secretary of State really think it sufficient to ask reluctant ISPs to write to serial offenders and then perhaps threaten them with slower internet rates? Surely we should be looking for more bold, innovative solutions. When will we do something to challenge the culture in this "something for nothing" digital Britain?
