Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Video Recordings Bill.


Video Recordings Bill

My Lords, I will gladly do that. That point about the implications for our partners in the European Community and the timescale for notification, which was the error, has not been raised by any other noble Lord. The noble Lord will appreciate that the error is 25 years old and, therefore, if they were to object to this legislation, they would be objecting to something that the European Community has been obliged to live with for the past 25 years. The concept of notification is to see whether it is a restraint upon freedom of trade. Twenty-five years having passed probably suggests that it is unlikely to be a major issue. I am grateful to the noble Lord for having identified an issue that we have not considered in the course of these deliberations.
