Clause 36 - Notification of non-payment of charges
Communications Bill
12:00 pm

Mr Michael Fabricant (Lichfield, Conservative)
I have some questions regarding the notification of non-payment of charges. I am pleased to see that there are provisions whereby Ofcom cannot unilaterally and suddenly announce that charges will be made against the licensee. However, I am curious to know whether there are any provisions for charging interest for late payment. That issue was discussed at great length during proceedings on the Office of Communications Bill. Where are those provisions, and what rate of interest would be applied?
