Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what plans he has to review the allocation of television broadcasting line capacity in order to encourage further improvements in teletext services on ITV and Channel 4.

None. The present allocation aims to make the best use of spare capacity within the television signals on Channel 3 and 4 while enabling the provision of a public teletext service meeting the detailed content requirements specified in the Broadcasting Act 1990.
