There’s good news and bad news. I can provide the link to the debate on Lord Falconer’s bill on extending immunity to people who accompany family members to Switzerland to commit suicide at a Dignitas facility.
The bad news is this:
It’s a continous videostream of the entire 7.5 hours of debate in the House of Lords that day and the connection and buffering can be erratic.
As I’ve mentioned before, I have terrible trouble doing transcripts myself. Unless someone else types a transcript, there won’t be one available – as far as I know.
Having said that, the link to the debate is below.
The statements by Baroness Campbell opposing the bill start at about 3:45:45 in the 7.5 hour video stream. The bar that advances the video is at the bottom of the screen. That means – with luck and some fine motor coordination – you can advance the video to somewhere near the time that Baroness Campbell starts to speak.
Lords Chamber – Meeting started on Tuesday 7 July at 2.30pm – ended at 9.59pm
Sorry I couldn’t provide something more accessible this time. –Stephen Drake
Thank you for the link.
If UK legislative hearings are like US ones, then we should be able to capture portions of the webcast and post the MPEG or other new file.
No problem with the link. I don’t have the tech skills to handle capturing the webcast, but I talked to our one of our IT people here and he said it’s a bit dodgy – he seemed to think it would involve first downloading/copying the entire 7.5 hours.
I would be absolutely thrilled if someone else managed this – thrilled enough to link to them. 😉
