Intellectual Property Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Jim Dowd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Intellectual Property Bill [Lords].

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on reading out so thoroughly the briefing provided by ITV on this issue, but is it not a fact that as long as there is an obligation to carry the terrestrial channels, the Government could either remove that obligation or charge the pay-TV companies for using the material, particularly Virgin, which has the TiVo machine that allows people to build up private on-demand libraries without paying any of the costs or having to watch any of the advertising?
