Copyright (Visually Impaired Persons) Bill
11:30 am
Ms Rachel Squire (Dunfermline West, Labour)
I thank my hon. Friend the Minister and the hon. Members for Daventry and for Somerton and Frome for the good points that they have made and for their support for the Bill. I believe that the Minister has dealt with the issues that have been raised. I wish to underline my desire—and clearly that of all those present in Committee—to continue the partnership that has been developed to secure legislation and to work together on a basis of good will. We have a shared and genuine commitment to give greater equality to people with visual impairment,
while also safeguarding the rights of professional bodies. I hope that all members of the Committee will consider that we can continue to work together as we have done up to now and secure a successful outcome.
Question put and negatived.
