Proceeding contribution from Lord Stevenson of Balmacara (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 March 2024. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill.


Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill

My Lords, it is important that we unpick the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, which I think was touched on but not addressed by the Minister. If we rely on civil remedies, we are not really addressing the problem that there is, in effect, an opportunity, for those who wish to, to exercise criminality; this surely cannot be left to the civil courts.
