Clause 89 - Conditions about apparatus supply
Communications Bill
10:00 am
Mr John Greenway (Ryedale, Conservative)
That is a good question and one that the Minister ought to answer—it is his Bill. The note on the clause states:
''Where OFCOM determine that a supplier of electronic communications apparatus has SMP in an apparatus market, OFCOM may set conditions requiring the supplier to maintain accounting separation between such activities and other matters and also may set price controls on the supply of telephones hardwired to an electronic communications network.''
The clause goes beyond that: the note on the clause and the wording of the clause are not the same.
