Mitchell, Austin

That this House notes that Ofcom has described community radio as `one 
of the best things...that we have done...far more successful than 
anybody anticipated'; recognises the opportunity now exists to enable 
communities to develop their own free-to-air television stations as a 
platform for news, information, discussion, entertainment and 
advertising; believes it is important to avoid creating spectrum 
gatekeepers able to abuse their market power in the supply of spectrum 
suitable for community-based television services; and calls on the 
Government and Ofcom to co-operate to implement a licensing regime so 
that Freeview and cable carriage is secured for the roll-out of a new 
tier of local television across the UK with priority on the electronic 
programme guide.
