Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 3 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [HL].
Digital Economy Bill [HL]
My Lords, I wish to say something about the amendments of the noble Lord, Lucas, which I fully support for the same reason. When we were discussing the Computer Misuse Act and I wanted to change the word "likely" to "more likely than not", it was explained that "likely" meant "more likely than not" in legal terms. We have the same thing here: how serious is "seriously"? These qualifiers are needed to enable the normal person to understand it. However, if the lawyers assure the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, that "seriously" is implied by the previous mention of the word, that may clarify the situation.
