Proceeding contribution from Alun Michael (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill.

Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

I am delighted to give pleasure to the hon. Gentleman. I appreciate that he did not want an interruption during the rant that he had obviously been preparing in front of a mirror over the weekend. Can he help us by explaining whether he, on behalf of the Opposition, thinks that digital switchover is good news for the public, for the TV industry and for British industry as a whole, and whether he considers that a Bill that will enable the vulnerable to share in that good news and to be protected from the downside to it is not good news as well?
