Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Manchester (Bishops (affiliation)) 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

I add my support to the amendment. The same thread has become evident at various points throughout this afternoon. It is precisely as has been said: we are left not knowing quite where to go because the amount of information required for us to be able to understand the scheme—and therefore some of the problems that the Government say they wish to avoid, to protect vulnerable people—will not be made available for some reason. That is unsatisfactory, and the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, is right to say that every part of the Committee represented here this afternoon has expressed that concern.
