Engagements
- Question
- The Leader of the House twice said earlier that the Government are concerned with the majority and not with the privileged few. So will they make it their policy to ensure that future test matches involving England are available on free-to-air TV channels, and not just to the privileged few who can afford pay-per-view?
- Answer
-
Curiously, the hon. Gentleman would normally argue that such matters are not for the Government but for others to resolve. Of course, that is the position so far as this matter is concerned, but my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport has made it clear that it is subject to review, and that we will look at it again in the future.
