Proceeding contribution from Lord Maxton (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]

Does the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, imply from that that someone should not get into my e-mails, for instance, and read them as a result of what the Government propose? The problem with that, and the problem with legislating in this area, is that a lot of e-mails contain links. If I click on the link, I get into another website, but without knowing that the e-mail was there in the first place, how do you know whether the link was there? The ongoing implications are so enormous that I do not understand what the noble Lord is getting at.
