Proceeding contribution from Lord Foster of Bath (Liberal Democrat) 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

The hon. Gentleman makes an important point. If we agree to the amendment, although it means that the information will legitimately be obtained from Whitehaven council, the people of Whitehaven will not be told that they are eligible and provided with support; they will have to write to say that they believe themselves to be eligible. Does he agree that, if the amendment is accepted, it should still be possible to identify the people who are in need of help and ensure that they receive it in time?
