Clause 11 - Duty to establish and maintain Content Board
Communications Bill
3:45 pm
Mr John Greenway (Ryedale, Conservative)
I anticipate that you, Mr. Gale, will not wish to have a clause stand part debate. Therefore, I wish to ask the Minister a question about the content board. It arises from my reading of the clause. Subsection (4) states that there is to be a person on the content board who represents
''the following parts of the United Kingdom—
(a) England,
(b) Scotland,
(c) Wales, and
(d) Northern Ireland''.
That is sensible.
Subsection (5) states that the person who represents the United Kingdom should also be capable of representing
''the interests and opinions of persons living in all the different regions of England.''
I am unsure what kind of person that would be.
