Intellectual Property Bill [Lords]

Debate between Pete Wishart and Jim Shannon

Wednesday 12th March 2014 Commons Chamber

[Pete Wishart]

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, for giving me the last Back-Bench word in this Intellectual Property Bill. It is significant that this is the first dedicated intellectual property Bill that I have actually seen in my 13 years in the House, and I would like us to mark that. I hope that we see many more in the future.

I thank all Members who have taken part, especially those on the Front Benches who have contributed so much to what has been a very friendly look at some of these issues. I did not know until Sunday that the Minister and I share a birthday. I wish him a belated happy birthday, and hope that he had as good a day as I did.

[Jim Shannon (Strangford) (DUP)]
