Digital Economy Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Digital Economy Bill [HL].
I spoke to this earlier, so it is probably better to say simply that I support the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, in that it would be better to leave this to another Parliament. The very dangerous original Clause 17 has now been eliminated and replaced by Clause 18 put forward by the Liberal Democrats, which was a good try but had flaws. As I said earlier, there are flaws here. For instance, where I think they mean to refer to an internet service provider, they refer only to a service provider, which is a completely different animal. That is dangerous, so I would move that this was left to another Parliament. Division on Amendment 7A Contents 32; Not-Contents 124. Amendment 7A disagreed.
