Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

I wish to outline briefly the main provisions of the Bill which is separated into three Parts. Part 1 contains standard provisions covering the short title, interpretations, laying of orders and regulations before both Houses etc. Part 2 deals with the establishment of the Digital Hub Development Agency. Part 3 deals with transitional provisions arising out of the transformation of Digital Media Development Limited into the Digital Hub Development Agency. Subject to the necessary Cabinet procedures, I propose to introduce a new Part in this Bill, Part 4, which will give effect to certain minor amendments to the Communications Regulations Act, enacted on 27 April 2002. I also propose to amend the long title of the Bill to reflect the fact that the proposed amendments to the Communications Regulation Act, 2002, are made in this Bill.
