Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 July 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Communications Act 2003 (Maximum Penalty for Persistent Misuse of Network or Service) Order 2010.


Communications Act 2003 (Maximum Penalty for Persistent Misuse of Network or Service) Order 2010

The companies get the guidance, but that is not confirmation. I cannot help feeling that if Ofcom knows which companies are using this equipment, it ought to get some confirmation from them that they have current procedures that have been checked and are fully compliant. That would not necessarily mean that the answer was totally correct but at least it would force them to answer that, rather than Ofcom just assuming, because its guidance is available, that companies are aware of this. I offer that as a possible reinforcement.
