		<description>Cheers also to Ian for pointing out on FIPR Alerts: 

Section 3 on civil liberties adds no new information.

S.7 on Culture/Media/Sport says nothing about Digital Economy Act. It does say: &quot;We will introduce measures to ensure the rapid roll-out of superfast broadband across the country. We will ensure that BT and other infrastructure providers allow the use of their assets to deliver such broadband, and we will seek to introduce superfast broadband in remote areas at the same time as in more populated areas. If necessary, we will consider using the part of the TV licence fee that is supporting the digital switchover to fund broadband in areas that the market alone will not reach.&quot;

S.13 on Europe: &quot;We will approach forthcoming legislation in the area of criminal justice on a case-by-case basis, with a view to maximising our country’s security, protecting Britain’s civil liberties and preserving the integrity of our criminal justice system.&quot;

S.14 on families and children: &quot;We will review the criminal records and vetting and barring regime and scale it back to common sense levels.&quot;

S.17 on immigration: &quot;We support E-borders and will reintroduce exit checks.&quot;

S.22 on NHS: &quot;We will put patients in charge of making decisions about their care, including control of their health records.&quot;

S.24 on political reform: &quot;We will introduce a new ‘public reading stage’ for bills to give the public an opportunity to comment on proposed legislation online, and a dedicated ‘public reading day’ within a bill’s committee stage where those comments will be debated by the committee scrutinising the bill.&quot;

S.30 on transport: &quot;We will stop central government funding for new fixed speed cameras and switch to more effective ways of making our roads safer, including authorising ‘drugalyser’ technology.&quot;</description>
