Digital Economy Bill [Lords]

I will not give way. I need to make a bit more headway before I give way again. It is right that we ask the industry to help to educate consumers and—as the hon. Member for Bath (Mr. Foster) rightly suggested—to develop the kind of attractive commercial deals that consumers want, at a price that they are willing to pay. However, we need legislation as well. Turning to amendment 36, I think it appropriate that we should ask an internet access subscriber to be responsible for trying to ensure that their access is not used for unlawful purposes. That is what the current wording of the Bill does. Perfectly proper concerns have been expressed about children downloading material unlawfully. I remind the House that, under the clause, a letter would be sent to the person responsible for the internet access, to inform them that unlawful downloading had occurred. It would be a matter for them to ensure that their internet access was safeguarded. Sending a letter is entirely appropriate in such circumstances.
