Proceeding contribution from Lord Vaizey of Didcot (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill.


Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

My hon. Friend makes an excellent point about the effect of the amendment on the progress of digital switchover. As colleagues obviously know, we continue to debate the measure, which has not yet received Royal Assent, but digital switchover continues. We were unable to hear about its progress today, but it is interesting that no legal powers yet exist for Whitehaven district council to share information on the visually impaired. It would be interesting to know how digital switchover is progressing given that Whitehaven does not have requisite powers.
