The Communications Bill:  Getting It Right! 

Thursday, 28 November

VLV’s 19th  Autumn Conference,  London WC1

Keynote speaker:  Lord Puttnam of Queensgate CBE
Chair, Joint Parliamentary Committee scrutinising the draft Communicatons Bill.

The new Communications Bill will introduce controversial and radical changes in the remit, regulation and ownership of Britain’s public service broadcasters with  far-reaching 
implications for the future of British cultural and democratic life.  Among the most 
controversial proposals are those to lift restrictions on foreign (non-EEA) companies buying British media interests, including ITV, and on major newspaper owners buying Channel 5. 

The Joint Scrutiny Committee recommended no change in the current media ownership 
rules.  This conference will encourage public debate about these crucially important issues. 

Tickets: £80, concessions on request, including lunch .
Venue: 11.00am –15.30pm, Hamilton House, London WC1.
