Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) 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]

My Lords, I speak to Amendment 40. It is not my amendment, but I think that it should be included in the Bill to some degree. I welcome the Minister’s amendments, which are a very good idea, but the extra moderation shown in Amendment 40 is also worthy of consideration. When one thinks of how much difficulty the Government sometimes have in implementing new computer and software systems, one realises that a reasonable amount of time should certainly be allowed. Choosing it arbitrarily could be dangerous, and we should probably have that in the Bill.
