Digital Economy Bill [HL]

This is on the same subject: we probably should have grouped the amendments together. I thought it would be easier for the Minister if I kept this separate. It is another way of ensuring that the event is serious and not trivial. Amendments 221 and 225 make the point that the Secretary of State should consult to make sure that other people think that the matter is serious, and it is not just a case of the Minister getting a bit worried. Therefore, I support Amendment 224, which is grouped with the next two amendments and states that a draft order should be brought before the House. It is all connected, and intended to ensure that if this sort of thing happens, it is scrutinised properly and not just arbitrarily by the Secretary of State. I beg to move.
