Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Committee Stage. - Local Radio Licensing: Motion.
The final task the advisers have been asked to reflect on is the existing policy interface. I see this as an integral and important part of the review. I am on record as stating that I am specifically ruling out the possibility of any increased ministerial or political involvement in the licensing process. Political interference or involvement in licensing decisions is simply not an option. As long as I am Minister, as I said earlier, I will not countenance such interference on either side of the equation.
