Freeview Channels

I can certainly give the hon. Gentleman the undertaking that I will ensure that his comments are also relayed to my ministerial colleague. The Communications Act 2003 sets out the fact that it is Ofcom's duty to draw up, and from time to time review and revise, a code to give guidance to platform operators about the provision of EPGs. Ofcom's code of practice on EPGs is non-prescriptive about the order in which channels are placed, except for the public service broadcasting channels, which include the BBC's digital services, channels 3, 4 and 5, and S4C in Wales.
