Asked by: Peter Luff (Conservative - Mid Worcestershire)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to paragraph 1.117 of the Autumn Statement 2014, if he will take steps to compensate Programme Making and Special Event users of spectrum removed from the wavelengths they currently use to facilitate the further clearance of spectrum for mobile use.

Answered by Danny Alexander

As detailed in the National Infrastructure Plan and Autumn Statement, subject to the development of delivery options by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Ofcom, further details of the change of use of 700MHz spectrum will be set out in 2015. As part of that process, we will look at the impact for Programme Making and Special Events and other current users.
