Media Bill (21 Nov 2023)

Damian Collins: A number of hon. Members have mentioned how long it has been since the last major piece of media legislation, but it is worth reflecting on that period of change and what it means. When the Communications Act 2003 was passed more than 20 years ago, Amazon was a relatively small online retailer selling music, books and video games, Netflix delivered videos and DVDs by mail order for people to...

Media Bill (21 Nov 2023)

Damian Collins: The hon. Lady makes an important point. It should be easier to find through app stores. Although they are not directly in scope of the legislation because they are not broadcast formats in their own right, that question should be asked—is it easy to find? It should be easy to find on a connected device when it is turned on, and it should be easy to locate the apps. Ofcom also has to...

Media Bill (21 Nov 2023)

Damian Collins: My hon. Friend makes a very interesting point. Whether it be ITV or a newspaper such as The Daily Telegraph, which is currently up for sale, what is the motivation of someone acquiring them? We might assume they would not seek to censor what was going on, but would they have a different view on creative content, news, the stories they want to tell and what obligations exist for them? That is...

Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill: New Clause 5 - Collective submissions (20 Nov 2023)

Damian Collins: I am grateful for what my hon. Friend has said so far about the application of the proportionality test, but if he is to follow up with Members in writing with some clarity, can he set out what he believes the grounds for challenge would be on the basis of proportionality? The interventions that the CMA may make and the rulings it may give are at the end of quite a lengthy process of market...

Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill: New Clause 5 - Collective submissions (20 Nov 2023)

Damian Collins: My right hon. and learned Friend the Member for South Swindon (Sir Robert Buckland) made the important point that the growth and expansion of regulation in digital markets is necessary but substantial. The ability of this place to keep track of how the regulators use their powers is increasingly important. That may be beyond the work of any departmental Select Committee, but instead requires...

Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill: New Clause 5 - Collective submissions (20 Nov 2023)

Damian Collins: Listening to this debate, I was reminded of remark attributed to a major United States tech investor who said that it had always amused him that people thought competition and capitalism were the same thing. While competition can be a great driver of economic growth, the acquisition of capital and the creation of new markets, there are equally plenty of capitalistic enterprises that have...

Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill: New Clause 5 - Collective submissions (20 Nov 2023)

Damian Collins: I am following what my right hon. and learned Friend says carefully. Does he agree that we have to consider the nature of this business landscape? For these firms—some of the biggest companies in the world—litigation is a cost of doing business. Their track record shows that they use almost all grounds there are to challenge any decision made by any regulator. Not even a regulator is...

Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill: New Clause 5 - Collective submissions (20 Nov 2023)

Damian Collins: I am grateful to my right hon. and learned Friend for giving way, particularly as we are on the subject of Theodore Roosevelt. Does he agree that we have to be careful when considering consumer detriment in this case? The argument was not successfully made in the United States that J.P. Morgan could say that he may have a railway monopoly but the ticket prices were relatively low and so there...

Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill: New Clause 5 - Collective submissions (20 Nov 2023)

Damian Collins: I welcome my hon. Friend to his position, and congratulate him on his role. The Government amendments relate to the proportionality test for conduct requirements. Why did the Government feel that there was a need for those additional tests? Was there a concern that the CMA would use the power disproportionately, and if so, what might such a use have been?

Online Safety Bill: Clause 82 - General duties of OFCOM under section 3 of the Communications Act (12 Sep 2023)

Damian Collins: Will the Minister make it clear that we should expect the companies to use proactive technology, because they already use it to make money by recommending content to people, which is a principal reason for the Bill? If they use proactive technology to make money, they should also use it to keep people safe.

Online Safety Bill: Clause 82 - General duties of OFCOM under section 3 of the Communications Act (12 Sep 2023)

Damian Collins: As Carnegie UK Trust observed online, a child born on the day the Government first published their original internet safety strategy would now be in its second year of primary school.

Online Safety Bill: Clause 82 - General duties of OFCOM under section 3 of the Communications Act (12 Sep 2023)

Damian Collins: The draft Bill was published in April 2021, so it is fantastic that we are now discussing its final stages after it has gone through its processes in the House of Lords. It went through pre-legislative scrutiny, then it was introduced here, committed to the Bill Committee, recommitted, came back to the House, went to the Lords and came back again. I do not think any Bill has had as much...

Online Safety Bill: Clause 82 - General duties of OFCOM under section 3 of the Communications Act (12 Sep 2023)

Damian Collins: The length of the process we have gone through on this Bill is a good thing, because we have ended up with probably the most comprehensive legislation in the world. We have a regulator with more power, and more power to sanction, than anywhere else. It is important to get that right. A lot of the regulation is principle-based. It is about the regulation of user-to-user services, whereby...

Online Safety Bill: Clause 82 - General duties of OFCOM under section 3 of the Communications Act (12 Sep 2023)

Damian Collins: When I chaired the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, we set up a Sub-Committee to consider these issues and internet regulation. Of course, the Sub-Committee has the same members. It is up to the Select Committee to determine how it structures itself and spends its time, but there is only so much that any one departmental Select Committee can do among its huge range of other...

Online Safety Bill: Clause 82 - General duties of OFCOM under section 3 of the Communications Act (12 Sep 2023)

Damian Collins: Does my hon. Friend agree that the companies already say in their terms of service that they do not allow illegal use of their products, yet they do not say how they will monitor whether there is illegal use and what enforcement they take? What the Bill gives us, for the first time, is the right for Ofcom to know the answers to those questions and to know whether the companies are even...

Public Bill Committee: Data Protection and Digital Information (No. 2) Bill: Clause 85 - Duty to notify the Commissioner of unlawful direct marketing (23 May 2023)

Damian Collins: Does my right hon. Friend agree that, if amendment 118 were made, it could be used as a general get-out-of-jail-free card by companies? Let us consider, for example, a situation where a company could easily and obviously have spotted a likely breach of the regulations and should have intervened. When the commissioner discovered that the company had failed in its duty to do so, the company...
