HC Deb 13 September 2004 vol 424 c1460W
Norman Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what guidance she gives to Ofcom relating to regional programming by broadcasting companies. [187901]

Estelle Morris

None. The Communications Act 2003 set out clear responsibilities for OFCOM to secure regional programming by broadcasting companies. Ofcom is currently reviewing public service television broadcasting and regional broadcasting forms an integral part of that review.
