Explanatory note

The Secretary of State granted to Lancashire Cable Television Limited on 14th October 1989 a licence under section 7 of the Telecommunications Act 1984 to run the telecommunication systems specified in Annex A to that licence, in the whole of the District of South Ribble, the greater parts of the Districts of Preston, Chorley and Fylde and a small part of the District of Ribble Valley, as described in the map which forms Annex B to that licence. A copy of the licence was laid before Parliament on 6th November 1989. This Order designates those telecommunication systems as public telecommunication systems. Consequently, by virtue of section 9(3) of that Act, Lancashire Cable Television Limited will be a public telecommunications operator when the Order comes into force.
