§ Mr. ColmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what account he has taken of the EU Directive on Recycling in setting the terms of reference for his working party for the digital switch-over. [100863]
§ Janet AndersonWe have not set up a working party for digital switch-over, but we will be formally reviewing progress on availability and affordability of digital services every two years with industry, regulators and consumer groups. We expect many analogue television sets to be replaced by digital sets as part of the normal cycle of set replacement. Analogue sets need not be scrapped as they can be converted to digital by using a set top box.
