Clause 2 - Search warrants
Copyright, etc. and Trade Marks (Offences and Enforcement) Bill
10:45 am
Dr Vincent Cable (Twickenham, Liberal Democrat)
I was in Brussels about six weeks ago and I asked that question of officials and Members of the European Parliament whom I met in the relevant directorate. I discussed briefly the Bill with them and they were confident that the two are compatible. However, as the hon. Gentleman said, we are discussing radically changing technology and, in five years' time, we may well need to amend the legislation.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
