Clause 147 - General functions of OFCOM in relation to radio spectrum
Communications Bill

Mr Michael Fabricant (Lichfield, Conservative)
I always hesitate to correct the Front-Bench spokesman—that is probably why I remain on the Back Benches—but my hon. Friend is wrong to say that there was a considerable amount of spare spectrum available in 1920. He should read the excellent history of broadcasting by Asa Briggs, who was the vice-chancellor of Sussex university, where I took my masters degree.
