HC Deb 10 March 1998 vol 308 c122W
Mr. Whittingdale

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what representations he has received in favour of allowing masthead programming on terrestrial television; and if he will make a statement. [33715]

Mr. Fisher

I have received representations on masthead programming from the Periodical Publishers Association. Restrictions on masthead programming are contained in the Independent Television Commission's Code of Programme Sponsorship and it is a matter for them as to whether those restrictions should be relaxed.
