Proceeding contribution from Julie Kirkbride (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill.


Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

The Secretary of State is making a very important point, but she has appeared to elide the issue of high-definition television. If terrestrial television is to be made available in high definition, some bandwidth will have to be made available to the BBC and existing terrestrial television networks. Does she agree that it would be intolerable to ask people to pay a BBC TV licence fee and then not be able to receive high-definition terrestrial TV pictures, especially for the 2012 Olympics?
