§ Lord Gray of Continasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether in view of the merger of British Satellite Broadcasting and Sky TV they propose to amend the revised planning controls over satellite television antennas that they announced on 1st November.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment (Baroness Blatch)Clearly, the position on satellite dishes has changed with the recently announced merger of BSB and Sky Television and the proposed adoption of the Astra satellite broadcasting system. My right honourable friends the Secretaries of State for the Environment and for Wales will therefore be reviewing the proposed changes to the General Development Order in the light of developments.
