HC Deb 23 November 1994 vol 250 cc179-80W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what plans he has to revise the status of ITN as the only news provider available to the ITV companies following the ITC's decision to postpone the imposition of the 20 per cent. ownership limit.

Mr. Dorrell

None. The nomination of bodies corporate as nominated news providers is entirely a matter for the ITC, in accordance with the powers set out in section 32 of the Broadcasting Act 1990.
