HC Deb 04 March 1982 vol 19 c202W
Mr. John Browne

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on future policies towards the granting of licences to cable television operators, particularly in central London, to ensure fair and open competition.

Mr. Mayhew

As my right hon. Friend stated in reply to a supplementary question by my hon. Friend the Member for Arundel (Mr. Marshall) on 18 February—[Vol. 18, c. 391]—he intends to make a further statement on cable broadcasting. He is not yet ready to do so.
