Proceeding contribution from Lord Mayhew of Twysden (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [HL].


Digital Economy Bill [HL]

My Lords, perhaps I may ask for some help with the intended meaning of the formula, ""must have particular regard, in all cases, to the need"," which is then followed by paragraphs (a), (b) and (c). Does it mean that, among other things, it must have regard to the specified matters, or does it mean that it must have a special regard, which suggests a higher value, and that it must have perhaps even overriding regard where there is any conflict? We need rather clearer advice about that.
