Proceeding contribution from John Grogan (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]

I know that they put it in, but there is joy in heaven when a sinner repenteth. At the very least, I hope that the House will back the minimalist position—whatever the electoral reasons that inspired it may be. I can tell those on the Front Bench that when that moment is reached—at 10 or 11 o'clock tomorrow night—there might not be that many people around. I hope that all those who are listening to the debate on BBC Parliament or following it on the internet will urge their MPs who are around to remember that if the Bill gets a Second Reading today, there is still Third Reading, and the question of clause 18. This fight is not over yet.
