Dear Sion
Like many others I am aghast that the Digital Economy Act was voted
through at
the tail-end of a Parliament "through the usual channels". This shows how
antiquated the Westminster Parliament is and I do believe that this Act
must be revisited. If elected, I will certainly support any moves to look
at this again as the powers that have been granted to the copyright
holders are draconian.

He did say that.Again it would be a wasted vote anyway.
Nick Clegg has been saying lots of rhetoric against the digital economy bill but I'm yet to see him say he'd reverse it given the opportunity.
Signed the thing last night.
Just got an email from SNP's Aberdeen North candidate. Checked it out, was not sent from a mailing list, or mass mailer.
They had my vote anyway. Tis nice to see a politician take the time to mail me personal ^^
He did say that.
Dear Ms Duncan
Thank you very much for your recent email on the Digital Economy Bill.
You will be aware by now that the Digital Economy Bill completed its Parliamentary stages. There was a full debate on the Bill and I voted in favour of it. I did that because I supported the majority of the issues in the Bill. On the controversial issues about which you have written, I did have a conversation with Government Ministers and let them know that I was uncomfortable with the disconnection. I know that other colleagues made the same representations. The Bill went through its processes on a shortened procedure with the agreement of the major parties because of the calling of the election but the statement was made by the Government that controversial areas will require regulation (the Bill simply enables these regulations to be made) and these will be conducted by what is called a “super affirmative” procedure which will allow a full debate and vote on the regulations before they are approved. Although an accelerated procedure was raised, the House of Commons will pay full attention to the implementation of the measures.
In the meantime, I have sent a copy of your email to the Secretary of State so that he is aware of your views.
With best wishes.
Yours sincerely
Frank Doran
Parliamentary Candidate for Aberdeen North
