HC Deb 24 June 1982 vol 26 c155W
32. Mr. Nicholas Baker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Deparment if he is now in a position to give further details of the arrangements he will make for the regulation of cable television.

Mr. Raison

Decisions about the future of cable will be taken in the light of the report of Lord Hunt's inquiry into cable expansion and broadcasting policy—due to be submitted at the end of September—and the consideration now being given by the Departments concerned to the economic, technical and telecommunications policy issues that the development of cable would raise.
