Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [HL].

Digital Economy Bill [HL]

There are aspects of my noble friend’s contribution that I probably could not help but agree with, but it is a fact of life: when we have legislation like this inevitably there will be lobbying. To conclude, we do not believe that this amendment will add to the Bill. The clauses speak for themselves, and we think we have got the gradual approach right. We are concerned to ensure that the legal alternatives develop, and we believe that the gradual approach we advocate will encourage the development of what my noble friend Lord Whitty seeks to achieve. In the light of the clear statement of our intentions, I hope that my noble friend will feel able to withdraw his amendment.
