I propose to take Questions Nos. 283, 284 and 288 together.
There is no legislation being drafted in my Department relating to television deflector systems.
The official position of my Department and that of the Government in the matter is that these systems are operating illegally. However, the House will be aware that following the judgment in the High Court case taken by South Coast Community Television I must reconsider an application from that organisation for a licence to operate. To that end I commissioned a technical analysis by consultants, nominated by the European Broadcasting Union, who have, in the last few days submitted their report. That report is now being examined by my officials and a decision on the application will be made as soon as possible. In reaching that decision account will be taken of the implications which may arise for the operation of deflector systems generally in the country.
