Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 January 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [HL].

Digital Economy Bill [HL]

I thank my noble friend for giving way. I am told that the body will have the same statutory duties, but we will clarify it in writing. While I have the opportunity, perhaps I may clarify one point about copyright disputes. Disputes between ISPs and copyright owners, for example, over whether a CIR is code-compliant are not copyright infringement disputes as defined in Clause 8(6). I hope that that is helpful. However, as I have said, I shall clarify my noble friend’s question about statutory obligations.
