Recommendation 11
11
Paragraph: 60
Use affirmative procedure for Secretary of State designation of regulated television selection services.
Recommendation
Only those television selection services which are deemed to be used by a significant number of viewers in the UK to access TV content online will be regulated. While the Secretary of State may only designate these services or specify a description of them following a report from Ofcom, the fact that the Minister can decide against Ofcom’s recommendations means that their decision should be open to greater Parliamentary scrutiny. We recommend that the affirmative procedure should be used when the Secretary of State designates or specifies a description of regulated television selection services.
