Digital Economy Bill [Lords]

I have great admiration for how my right hon. Friend is putting his case, but I still have grave reservations about clauses 11 to 18, and it is with the greatest regret that I say that, although it is clear that the three Front-Bench teams are determined to railroad this through on Second Reading, if the Government cannot move on those clauses tomorrow—we will have only an hour on Third Reading—I will not be able to support the measures at the crucial vote on Third Reading. I am sure that I speak for other colleagues.
