HC Deb 24 July 1985 vol 83 cc568-9W
Mr. Gale

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he has taken to encourage British industry to make use of the enabling legislation in the Cable and Broadcasting Act to market British-developed enhanced teletext services overseas.

Mr. Butcher

We have ensured that United Kingdom broadcasters have a technical specification to support subscription user group services in this country and in overseas countries using United Kingdom teletext technology; but its application in other countries depends on broadcasters and regulatory bodies in those countries.
