HC Deb 07 December 1993 vol 234 c139W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what information he has concerning the extent to which United Kingdom television producers are currently using facilities in the Republic of Ireland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brooke

[holding answer 6 December 1993]: Successive Governments have refrained from interfering in questions of television programme content and production. This is a matter for the broadcasters concerned, so long as they act within the law.
