Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [HL].

Digital Economy Bill [HL]

It may assist the noble Lord to know that if you download from home, you are going straight out on to the internet rather than the parliamentary system, even if you are also getting e-mails over the virtual private network, so what you are downloading at that point cannot be monitored at all. If you are in the House they may be able to do monitor you, but those with home connections could quite easily circumvent that and there is no software that I know of that could prevent it.
