HC Deb 21 June 1988 vol 135 c479W
Dame Jill Knight

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce regulations to remove from community radio stations the right to apply for licences if they continue to broadcast unlicensed after a specified date.

Mr. Renton

We are giving thought to the possibility of including in the legislative proposals for radio broadcasting which we intend to bring before Parliament a provision disqualifying persons convicted of offences of unlawful broadcasting from obtaining licences from the Radio Authority.
