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

I hope that that is the case. The hon. Gentleman makes an excellent point about the need for speed in ensuring that the people of Whitehaven, who are the pioneers of digital switchover, are adequately taken care of. However, I stray from the narrow amendment and I must refocus on it. As I said to the Under-Secretary, my chief concern is whether the amendment is sufficiently robust to accommodate the future changes to local authority structures that the Government undertake. Cost implications are my second concern, given that the explanatory notes state that there are none. My right hon. Friend the Member for East Yorkshire (Mr. Knight) mentioned Scottish local government reorganisation.
