HC Deb 10 January 1995 vol 252 c65W
Mr. Foulkes

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on what statutory basis the Governor of St. Helena requires the output of the local radio and television stations to receive his approval prior to transmission.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Radio St. Helena is not subject to any statutory control.

A television station is to be operated under licence by Cable and Wireless. The company is subject to statutory control in so far as the terms of that licence require them to notify the Governor of details of the services to be offered and in each case the channel and frequency of the service on which they will be provided.
