HC Deb 01 November 1993 vol 231 c24W
Lady Olga Maitland

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what steps he is taking to ban the transvestite television channel.

Mr. Brooke

I am aware of reports of a new satellite television channel catering for transvestites. There is little evidence to indicate when broadcasts will commence, or whether they will do so at all.

It is the duty of the Independent Television Commission to bring to my attention any foreign satellite television service it considers goes beyond the limits of what is acceptable. My actions against the pornographic television channel "Red Hot Television" earlier this year should be sufficient warning to anyone who considers overstepping those limits.
