I was astonished when the Minister's advisers told us that the holders of copyright had not indicated their desire for levies, compensation and so on. Who am I to second guess the copyright holders? If they are not interested, there is no reason for me to pursue this particular matter so I will have to accept what the Minister of State says. If we had a series of votes, nothing would be achieved. We are facing insurmountable odds in terms of voting numbers and I am just not going to waste the time of the House.
