HC Deb 20 November 1992 vol 214 c403W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will refer the monopoly of encryption services in satellite television to the Office of Fair Trading; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brooke

No. The Director General of Fair Trading is required under statute to keep the operation of commercial services in the United Kingdom under review. Allegations of abuses of market power are usually made directly by those affected to the Office of Fair Trading.
