Proceeding contribution from John Penrose (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 February 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on STV.


STV

I appreciate the hon. Gentleman's logic, but the burden of what PACT has said is that the danger of giving STV independent production status is that it would cannibalise existing Scottish independents and we would end up with a much smaller number of larger producers, with STV massively in the lead. That is a possible outcome, but clearly the Secretary of State, in balancing what he was asked to consider, did not view it as strongly as some of the alternative outcomes.
