To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether he has any powers to intervene over the removal of Channel 4 HD services from the Freesat satellite television network.

The Secretary of State does not have any statutory powers to intervene in the removal of Channel 4 HD from the Freesat satellite television network.
