Digital Economy Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am proposing this group of seven amendments, which are needed for the purpose of tidying up the Bill rather than for any new policy purpose. For example, the first amendment, which removes text from new Section 124E(5) in Clause 8 is because it is otiose for paragraph (d) of that subsection to cover "any other matter" when the opening words of the subsection already refer to "any matter" at page 12, line 8. All the other amendments do a similar tidying up job. It is inevitable, given the number and the pace of the amendments that we considered at Report, and following a very full debate in Committee, that these sorts of things are picked up later. While they do not effect any policy changes, it helps the readability and understanding of the Bill if we put these things right when we spot them. On that basis, I beg to move. Amendment 3 agreed. Amendment 4 Moved by
