To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform how many organisations Ofcom has found to have breached the Broadcasting Code in each of the last five years; how many were subsequently fined; and how much Ofcom has imposed in fines in relation to such breaches.

I have been asked to reply.

The matters raised are the responsibility of the Office of Communications (Ofcom) as independent regulator. Accordingly, my officials have asked the chief executive of Ofcom to respond directly to the hon. Member. Copies of the chief executive’s letter will be placed in the Libraries of the House.
