Broadcasting (Major Events Television Coverage) (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The legislation does not address the situation where broadcasters have acquired the rights of certain events into the future. I am not aware of the extent to which they have obtained the rights to such events but I am sure the Department has considered this. Is it the case that under the terms of the legislation, certain events will be outside the remit of orders made by the Minister because of contracts entered into, either before now or before the legislation is enacted?
