§ Miss KirkbrideTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when she next expects the Office of Fair Trading to examine the BBC's undertakings on the on-air promotions of BBC published magazines. [157481]
§ Estelle MorrisI have been asked to reply.
This is a matter for the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). The OFT considers annually its priorities for review of remedial Orders made and undertakings given under the monopoly provisions of the Fair Trading Act 1973. 1 understand that the OFT currently has no firm date in mind for the review of the BBC undertakings. Any information concerning a possible lack of compliance by the BBC with its undertakings should be passed to the OFT.
