Proceeding contribution from Sion Simon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of time motion).


Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of Time)

I shall move on to answer the question from the hon. Member for Wantage (Mr. Vaizey) about how the omission was discovered last year. The answer is that, as part of our preparation for the Digital Economy Bill, we were involved in a similar process of notifying to the European Commission the Bill's amendments to the 1984 Act—a similar process to that which the hon. Member for Bath suggests one might have thought would have happened in 1993 and 1994. On this most recent occasion during that process, it was noticed that the original Bill had not been notified.
