I am satisfied that MMDS provides the only feasible possibility consistent with good radio frequency management, of providing a range of viewing choice comparable to cable services on a national basis. I would refer the Deputy to my replies to previous questions on this topic. Columns 2498 to 2502, volume 379 of the Official Report of 28 April, 1988 and columns 946 to 951 and 992 to 993 volume 381 of 1 June 1988 refer. I would also refer the Deputy to the information leaflet on MMDS which my Department published recently and which was laid before both Houses.
