The Secretary of State may by order F2amend section 204A for the purpose of modifying S4C’s public service remit.
Before making an order under sub-paragraph (5), the Secretary of State must consult—
S4C, and
OFCOM.
An order under sub-paragraph (5) must not contain provision inconsistent with a requirement that a substantial proportion of audiovisual content made available by S4C is in Welsh.
In sub-paragraph (7) “audiovisual content” has the same meaning as in section 264.
Subsection (13) of section 264 (interpretation of “made available”) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (7) as it applies for the purposes of that section.
No order is to be made containing provision authorised by sub-paragraph (5) unless a draft of the order has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House.
