Mr. Gale: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. My hon. Friend the Minister has been extremely generous in his concessions throughout the Bill and I am sorry that he has felt unable to meet me on this issue, but I have to respect his views. I have also had the benefit of the arithmetic of the last Division, so it would be unreasonable to force the House to another Division at this time of night. I do not, therefore, intend to press my amendment.
Amendment proposed: No. 162, in page 129, line 41, at end insert--
Question put, That the amendment be made:--
The House divided: Ayes 172, Noes 273.
Tellers for the Ayes:
Tellers for the Noes:
Question accordingly negatived.
It being after Ten o'clock, further consideration of the Bill stood adjourned.
Motion made, and Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 14 (Exempted business),
As amended (in the Standing Committee), again considered.
Amendments made: No. 155, in page 129, line 47, leave out from beginning to end of line 5 on page 130.
No. 45, in page 130, line 26, at end insert 'and'.
No. 46, in page 130, line 27, leave out from 'services' to end of line 28.
'(2A) If as a result of a takeover a person who owns or controls newspapers with a circulation market share above the percentage specified in paragraphs 4(1) and (2) becomes the holder of a licence to provide a Channel 3 service, the Independent Television Commission shall not for that reason alone revoke that licence unless a period of 12 months from the takeover has elapsed and the newspaper proprietor has failed to reduce the market share of those newspapers he controls to below the specified percentage.'.--[Mr. Maclennan.]
