HC Deb 12 July 1993 vol 228 cc354-5W
22. Mr. Milligan

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what assessments he has made of the ability of the Independent Television Commission to preserve the quality of the news coverage of ITV.

Mr. Brooke

The ITC became the regulator, rather than the broadcaster, of ITV on 1 January this year. The Commission has shown its determination to ensure that the ITV companies comply with the provisions of the Broadcasting Act 1990 and the conditions of their licences.
