Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitty (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]

My Lords, I will not pursue my amendment for the reasons that the Minister referred to—namely the unintended consequences for smaller ISPs. I was certainly not intending to drive them out of business. One needs to devise a trigger, and it would be better if the trigger were overt and in the Bill. On reflection, however, I do not think that my amendment achieves that. Therefore, before my noble friend replies, I should say that I will not press it.
