Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Haskel (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 28 November 2006.


Television: Sky and ITV

Question
My Lords, does my noble friend agree that things have moved on in the world of broadcasting with all the changes going on and telephone, television, internet and 3G all coming together? Does he agree that, while that is going on, it is best left to the regulators and the market rather than to interference from the Government?
Answer

My Lords, the House will not be surprised to hear that I entirely agree with my noble friend—he makes a very fair and rational point. I only wish that more Members of your Lordships’ House would follow his example.
