		Lord David Sainsbury of Turville is the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State and Minister for Science and Innovation of the United Kingdom under the government of Tony Blair.
		Sainsbury is a billionaire with some involvement in biotech patenting.
		Sainsbury is unusual for a UK minister (according to the civil servants), because he is very interested in this policy area (innovation), and has wanted to be much more closely briefed and involved than most ministers would be, in what is seen as a primarily technocratic policy area, with comparatively little media opportunity.

	Letter from Lord Sainsbury on Software Patents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It is unclear from this sentence whether Sainsbury thinks that his correspondents regards copyright or patents as a potential hindrance of the internet, oss and the software "industry".
		Sainsbury asserts that patents have not hurt free software, the software sector in general, or the expansion of the internet so far, because the sector is still growing.
		Perhaps Lord Sainsbury should influence the Council of Ministers to make sure that the remaining steps produce a directive that is in the public interest, rather than passively accepting the advice of the Patent Office.

		My Lords, what is proposed is essentially to put in place systems which can deal with this kind of crisis as effectively as possible, both in the short term and the long term.
