Online Harms Consultation

Debate between Lord McNally and Lord Faulkner of Worcester

Wednesday 16th December 2020 Lords Chamber

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Faulkner of Worcester) (Lab)]

I call the noble Lord, Lord McNally, again.

[Lord McNally (LD) [V]]

My Lords, not guilty, but happy to get in. Earlier this year, the noble Lord, Lord Puttnam, chaired a committee of this House which produced the report Digital Technology and the Resurrection of Trust, about the damage caused to our political and democratic system by online harm. The Government are choosing to ignore this. Does that not leave a massive stable door in the legislation? Will she assure me that the noble Lord, Lord Puttnam, will be able to give evidence to pre-legislative scrutiny to make the case for action in this area?

Public Bodies Bill [HL]

Debate between Lord McNally and Lord Faulkner of Worcester

Wednesday 23rd November 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord McNally]

That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 50.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Faulkner of Worcester)]

My Lords, I should point out that there is a misprint in Amendment 50A, and that the words, “and insert ‘disagree’”, should appear at the end.

Amendment 50A (to the Motion on Amendment 50)
