HC Deb 27 April 1987 vol 115 c2W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the Independent Broadcasting Authority has registered a network agreement with the European Economic Community Commission directorate responsible for monitoring restrictive trade practices; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

I understand that the IBA takes the view that, as a statutory authority, it is not required to notify such agreements under article 85 of the treaty of Rome.
