Proceeding contribution from Lord Razzall (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 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, I shall speak also to Amendments 90 and 91, which are grouped with Amendment 88. This is a very short point. When we tabled these amendments, we had not had the benefit of seeing the draft proposals regarding costs, and it may well be that things have moved on. The amendments may well now be slightly superfluous and at some stage we may discuss whether the figure of 75 per cent is going to be within the Government’s proposals. However, the amendments were intended to be of a probing nature to endeavour to draw out from the Government how they thought the costs would be dealt with between the ISPs and the copyright holders. I look forward to what the Minister has to say but, as I said, it may well be that things have moved on since we have seen the draft proposals.
