Proceeding contribution from Sion Simon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [Lords].


Digital Economy Bill [Lords]

On all counts, I am very grateful and stand roundly corrected. Let me just say in conclusion that this is a big and important Bill that addresses a massive part of our economy—it is a bigger part of our economy than of any other major economy in the world. Some of the Bill's provisions are about people's moral rights, but others are about people's jobs and livelihoods, our national prosperity and the ability of our citizens to live in a country where they can do the kind of things world citizens should in future be able to do. This is a good and important Bill, which I am proud to support by speaking in this Chamber now, for the last time.
