Proceeding contribution from Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 March 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on National Lottery Bill.


National Lottery Bill

First, I appreciate the Minister giving way. Secondly, I appreciate the examples that he gives. However, the 4,000 computers that have been added to public libraries—which, from what he said, I am happy to believe come from additional expenditure—make it the more curious that what libraries have given up buying is books, which, in the normal practice of libraries, is what one would have expected them to be buying. In fact, they are buying all sorts of other technology, over and above the additional purchases to which the Minister has just referred.
