Proceeding contribution from Lord Howard of Rising (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 3 February 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 the noble Lord for his interesting remarks, and I agree that that is a form of hidden subsidy. But once things become dependent on the public purse, whether directly or indirectly, they rarely change. I think that the Minister should give some consideration within the Bill to allowing to them to go back to being privately financed, in due course and if the occasion arises. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 233E withdrawn. Amendments 233F to 233H not moved. Amendment 234 Moved by
