HL Deb 28 July 1997 vol 582 cc13-4WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What information they have about the jamming of international radio or television transmissions by Turkey, and whether any British registered company has suffered disruption.

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

I understand that Med-TV, a broadcaster licensed in the UK by the Independent Television Commission, has suffered disruption in its satellite transmissions since 1 July and an impaired signal on Med-TV's broadcasts has recently been observed by the BBC's monitoring service. The source of the problem has not yet been identified.
