Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 22 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill.


Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

The BBC is mentioned in case the scheme needs to be terminated. We have to have provision for action on its part but, providing that the scheme operates successfully, we do not envisage the information being made available to the BBC because it is not germane to the purposes of the scheme. The reason why we have to have a provision for the BBC potentially to have access to the information is in case things go wrong and the single operator has its contract terminated or is subject to a takeover or there are changes in the arrangements.
