Abstract

In our response we distinguish among three categories of recommendation reflecting the different mechanisms through which they may be implemented. In the first category are recommendations in our response that are actionable by Ofcom under its existing statutory powers. The second category includes recommendations that would require action by Government but do not necessarily require changes to primary legislation. Finally, the third category consists of recommendations that would require Parliament to amend the OSA itself. We seek to distinguish among these recommendations throughout our response, but, as means of a summary, Table 1 here contains each recommendation, the appropriate mechanism for its enactment and the party responsible for its implementation.
