Part of the debate – in Westminster Hall at 11:00 am on 10 July 2007.
One issue that the hon. Gentleman has not yet touched on is the digital switchover. There is a fear that many televisions and video recorders will be obsolete and that a huge mountain of them will have to be coped with.

The fear is that many will end up in people's gardens and be unsightly, or that they will be fly-tipped, which is another problem that may result from the directive.
