HC Deb 23 May 1994 vol 244 c79W
21. Mr. Mullin

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what plans he has for reviewing the regulations governing cross-media ownership; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brooke

I announced on 3 January that I would be reviewing the rules which restrict cross-media ownership. Officials will make recommendations to Ministers this summer. The timing of an announcement about the outcome will depend on a number of factors, including the nature of those recommendations and any legislative implications.
