European Community Documents: Cable and Broadcasting Bill [Lords] ( 8 May 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: By "down market" I meant popular, and by "popular" I mean good popular programming of excellent quality. I was not running them down. The popular programme need not be of bad quality.

European Community Documents: Cable and Broadcasting Bill [Lords] ( 8 May 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: As one who takes equal glances at both, I would not dream of giving a judgment on the right hon. Gentleman's view. Having, I hope, established that by good quality we do not mean something that is of only minority interest, but which can also be popular, I am making headway with my argument, for there is a great deal of useful, high-quality, popular programming which has not yet been...

European Community Documents: Cable and Broadcasting Bill [Lords] ( 8 May 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: Perhaps my right hon. and learned Friend will clarify that point. Does he mean that the obligation not to readvertise would be withdrawn for all ITV companies presently franchised, or only for those that invest in DBS?

Orders of the Day — Nuclear Waste (Level Crossing Incident) (27 Apr 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: Does my hon. Friend not agree that, in spite of the statements that he has made, which are most reassuring, the local people in this area, in which I was a county councillor, have been aware that these trains have been travelling through this area for a long time? Will he not accept that there is an anxiety, but that, at the same time, there has been a trouble-free period of many years? Would...

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Penalties (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: I should like to wish all god speed to the Bill now that we have got this far. We have made considerable progress today. I spoke initially to raise some queries. We have tested various matters, but I know that the basic objectives that my hon. Friend the Member for Luton, South (Mr. Bright) has set are right. This is the only way forward. However, there will be lurking regrets here and there...

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Authority to Determine Suitability of Video Works for Showing (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: I rise to support my hon. Friend the Member for Derbyshire, West (Mr. Parris). The notion that there is virtue in local authorities controlling the exhibition of 18R material is quite appalling. It introduces yet another censor. We have already discussed the terminal point of censorship——

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Authority to Determine Suitability of Video Works for Showing (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: My hon. Friend has been of considerable help. That is why I should like the amendment to be opposed. I shall certainly oppose it.

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Authority to Determine Suitability of Video Works for Showing (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: I support any attempts to define in more detail the amendment that the Committee resolutely pushed through. The inclusion of the words "viewing in the home" worried me and the British Videogram Association. The lawyers have got me confused by amendment No. 21, though I have read it many times and I listened carefully to the explanation of my hon. Friend the Member for Luton, South (Mr....

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Exempted Works (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: On brief reflection, having listened to the hon. Member for Caithness and Sutherland (Mr. Maclennan), I am quite certain that it would be a good thing for the Home Office to have its films censored too. I support the amendment. Earlier, I reflected that it might catch anyone who tried to misuse the previous amendment about sex films. If videos designed for a certain purpose were then flogged...

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Exempted Works (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: I have been somewhat encouraged by what my hon. Friend has said. He has gone a long way towards supporting the statement of the right hon. Member for Birmingham, Small Heath (Mr. Howell), in that people who buy videograms will be able to see everything that they could have seen in the public cinema. Is he prepared to go as far as that as that would imply, that everything that is seen in the...

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Exempted Works (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: rose——

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Exempted Works (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: I rose a moment ago, but I failed to attract my hon. Friend's attention. The hon. Gentleman referred several times to the word "newsreels". Apart from a cinema newsreel, I do not know what my hon. Friend intends to embrace by the word. Does he mean news, as broadcast on television? Does he mean current affairs programmes, as broadcast on television? Does he mean features and documentaries, as...

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Exempted Works (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: I welcome my hon. Friend's attempts to exempt that, provided the conditions are fulfilled. The amendment does not go as far as I would have wished, and in the debate on the last amendment I exemplified my view on the matter. However, I am grateful to my hon. Friend for what he attempts to do.

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Exempted Works (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: Some of the very real difficulties to which I alluded earlier are beginning to come out of the woodwork. I support the two amendments tabled by the right hon. Member for Birmingham, Small Heath (Mr. Howell). I hope and pray that I have understood them correctly. They seek to exempt programmes which have already been transmitted into the home by the BBC and the IBA. If, after consultation,...

Mr Timothy Brinton: rose——

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Interpretation of Terms (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: I rise briefly to ask for reassurance on one matter. I am glad that my hon. Friend the Member for Luton, South (Mr. Bright) has tabled these amendments to cover video games. Can he reassure me that the interactive video game will also be caught by these amendments? His remarks did not make that clear.

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Parliamentary Procedure for Designation (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: Can my hon. Friend tell the House whether that pornographic film was hired or purchased from a videogram shop as we are talking about in the Bill?

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Parliamentary Procedure for Designation (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: I begin by declaring my interest. I am a consultant for the British Videogram Association, and because of the breadth of this Bill I had better make sure that I mention that I am a director of a company called Airtime Publicity (Newsflash) Limited and a consultant to Communications Strategy, a public relations firm. Neither of these latter firms will be affected by the Bill at the moment, but...

Orders of the Day — Video Recordings Bill: Parliamentary Procedure for Designation (16 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: The right hon. Gentleman said that all films classified for showing in the cinema could as a result of these classifications be seen in the home. If the standards of censorship are to be different, however, some must go out of the window at the 18R level. So it is not all films. The question is which films?

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements ( 8 Mar 1984)

Mr Timothy Brinton: asked the Prime Minister if she will list her official engagements for Thursday 8 March.
