Proceeding contribution from Baroness Buscombe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [HL].
Digital Economy Bill [HL]
I am grateful to the Minister for allowing me to intervene to say that I in no way intended to criticise Ofcom or its role. I was concerned about the possibility of the unintended consequences of ensuring impartiality in the provision of online news in the new consortia, when part of the consortium may involve news provision by newspapers—newspaper websites online—which, of course, are not impartial in their provision of news. We need certainty and clarity. We need to think about that at further stages of the Bill.
