Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) 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]

My Lords, we will certainly return to this on Report, because the noble Lord has not answered my question at all. I meant that writing a letter, if he so wishes, might be the best way of responding to this. The question is simply: if I am presented with one of these letters—be it first stage, second stage or third stage—how do I defend myself against the allegation? In what way am I capable of defending myself, other than by saying, "I didn’t do it, guv"? What practical means do I have of producing evidence to the tribunal that it might even begin to believe? That is the question, but I will not press it further now. I will delight the noble Lord even more by saying that, having listened to his speeches today, I do not need to move the amendments in the next group. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 121 withdrawn. Amendments 122 to 124 not moved. Amendment 124A Moved by
