HC Deb 02 July 1996 vol 280 c793
Mr. Sproat

I beg to move amendment No. 181, in page 10, line 34, leave out 'financial penalty' and insert `specified financial penalty not exceeding whichever is the greater'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Geoffrey Lofthouse)

With this, it will be convenient to discuss Government amendments Nos. 204 to 206.

Mr. Sproat

These amendments fulfil a commitment made in Committee. Amendment No. 181 allows the ITC discretion to levy a fine of less than £50,000 or the specified percentage of qualifying revenue, whichever is the greater, when it revokes a multiplex licence because the multiplex provider has failed to begin providing the service. Amendments Nos. 204 to 206 make the same arrangements with regard to radio multiplexes.

Amendment agreed to.
