HC Deb 11 July 1996 vol 281 c253W
Mr. Renton

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will make it her policy not to privatise Channel 4. [36769]

Mr. Sproat

Channel 4 has demonstrated great success in meeting its high quality public service broadcasting remit. However, it must be right to keep the position of any statutory body under review and to consider whether it should remain in the public sector.
