Proceeding contribution from Lord Evans of Temple Guiting (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 most constructive thing we can do is let the noble Lord, and any other Member of the Committee who might like to see it, have a copy of the core receiver requirements. We could then address, if necessary, the problem that the noble Lord has raised. There is no difference of view: we want to provide not all the bells et cetera, but the core requirements that disadvantaged people need. If the noble Lord is happy to accept that undertaking, we would be grateful. He makes an interesting point on the boxes used in the Whitehaven pilot and asked whether, if they are different from the boxes rolled out over the country, we would consider replacing them. That point is very well made, and we shall consider it and come back to Members of the Committee on it. To further reinforce the point about minimum requirements, they will be written into the schemeas the absolute minimum. That also gives an opportunity for the noble Lord and other noble Lords to comment if they so wish.
