Mr. Whittingdale
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what representations he has received in favour of allowing masthead programming on terrestrial television; and if he will make a statement. [33715]
Mr. Fisher
I have received representations on masthead programming from the Periodical Publishers Association. Restrictions on masthead programming are contained in the Independent Television Commission's Code of Programme Sponsorship and it is a matter for them as to whether those restrictions should be relaxed.
