Proceeding contribution from Baroness Jowell (Labour) 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 principle of universal access drives this whole policy and, by and large, that also creates for the majority of people in this country a choice of platform. They can choose whether they want freeview, satellite or cable. However, people who live in remote areas or areas where the terrain makes the receipt of a signal very difficult will not have as wide a choice as the majority. None the less, as we translate the policy into reality, we will ensure that everybody is able to get a digital signal and that nobody is shut out of the move to digital when the time comes.
