Question
(2) if he will ensure that existing programme making and special events users of ultra high frequency channels to be cleared of these services are provided with adequate replacement spectrum before the digital dividend auctions take place.
Answer

The matters raised are the responsibility of the independent regulator, the Office of Communications (Ofcom), which is accountable to Parliament rather than Ministers. Accordingly, I have asked the chief executive of Ofcom to reply directly to the hon. Member. Copies of the chief executive's letter will be placed in the Libraries of the House.
