Clause 29 - Advance notification to OFCOM
Communications Bill
11:15 am
Mr John Robertson (Glasgow Anniesland, Labour)
Will my hon. Friend clarify a point? As I see it, one of the problems with Oftel is that it seems to slow up applications for new systems and technology and so on. That is particularly true in relation to larger companies. Is the Minister saying that, although Ofcom will need to be notified of what is happening, there will be no need to stop work and that services can continue to be put out, while Ofcom makes its mind up about whether the proposal is a good idea?
