Amendments to the CMA were introduced yesterday (5 April) as a "10-minute rule" bill. The transcript is available online in Hansard at http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200405/cmhansrd/cm050405/debtext/50405-15.htm#50405-15_head0
The biggest changes are to add specific offences for denial of service and to up all punishments so that the UK can apply for extradition. It started with work by the All-Party Internet Group, whose web site is at http://www.apig.org.uk/ - I understand the bill will now be lost in the "washed up" work and the news got rather lost in the announcement of the general election. Personally, I feel that the broken position on swpat is more important to ask your Parliamentary Candidates (as wannabe-MPs are known). If you're in an area with county council elections, you could also ask them about using locally-supported free software and whether they support e-Government Interop (e-GIF). I'd welcome ideas (probably best sent to the fsfe-uk@ list). -- Thanks and happy voting, MJR/slef http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
