Proceeding contribution from Lord Clement-Jones (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 February 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, I thank the Minister for that reply, which illustrated some interesting and useful information and will be required reading in Hansard. The fuzziness still remains. The Minister—I think I quote him correctly—referred to certain specified criteria which will be the subject of consultation. I feel as though I am dealing with a sponge. This is the very opposite of certainty. Maybe, it is because we do not have the benefit of the consultation document in front of us. Maybe, it is because those criteria were not included in the Minister’s speech. The more hard-edged the Minister can be about the nature of these particular beasts, which many rights holders believe threaten their economic viability, the better. I live in hope. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 279 withdrawn. Amendments 280 to 282 not moved. Amendment 282AZA Moved by
