Clause 93 - Amount of penalty under s. 92
Communications Bill
11:15 am
Mr John Whittingdale (Maldon and East Chelmsford, Conservative)
I accept the Minister's comments about bringing the penalty provision in line with the penalties available under the Competition Act 1998. In terms of the debate about consistency across the whole of the communications sector, perhaps it is argument in favour for increasing the penalty for broadcasters. That is an interesting question, which we might revisit when we reach clause 231. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 93 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
