Lord Sandhurst (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 November 2024

Debate

Property (Digital Assets etc) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, this has been a most interesting debate. I am grateful, as are others, to the Minister for his careful opening. On this side we welcome the Bill. It may be small in size but it is big in importance, and we may yet find that it is perfectly formed. The last Conservative Administration deserves credit, I suggest, for having asked the Law Commission in 2020 to review this field of law. It is also very timely that we are debating this during the presidential election, because I see from my phone that bitcoin has risen over 7% in value today. So, this is an important, real topic for many people.
