HL Deb 21 November 2001 vol 628 cc150-1WA
The Earl of Northesk

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What bids have been received to date in respect of the rescheduled auction of 28 Ghz radio spectrum. [HL1336]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The award process is designed to give companies an opportunity to obtain licences when market conditions appear favourable to them. No bids have been received to date. However, they may apply at any time within the 12-month window (from 15 October 2001 to 15 October 2002), in contrast to last year's auction when application had to be made on a specific date (5 September).
