Digital Economy Bill [HL]

My Lords, I broadly support these amendments. In discussing notification procedures that may eventually lead to sanctions, it seems to me that at the very least we should inform the accused person about the right of appeal and, perhaps even more importantly in terms of determining their future action, the possible consequences of continued infringement. I forgot to declare that I am chair of Consumer Focus. I hope that runs through all my interventions today, lest I forget to do so again. This seems to me a fairly straightforward measure. The Government would allay some anxieties were they to accept the amendment of the noble Lord, Lord Lucas.
