Davies Review

As chairman of the all-party group on beer, I can tell the hon. Gentleman that the issue of subscription TV access to sport in pubs is often pressed on me. Sky's charges have gone up by about 800 per cent. over the years, which makes it difficult for many publicans to show subscription sport. It is also unfortunate that publicans can access Sky Sports channels only through the Sky Sports platform and not other platforms, which is a restraint on competition.
