Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) 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]

We have heard much to the effect that it will be a slow process and that these drastic measures will not be introduced immediately. Amendments to previous clauses have been knocked down on the grounds that technical measures will not be introduced on day one or even in year one. It was implied that we were suggesting Armageddon in our amendments by saying that they would be introduced immediately. I think that the Minister has just told us that Armageddon is going to happen almost on day one.
