answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2018 answer text <p>Frequencies in the 700MHz spectrum band are being cleared as part of a programme to ensure that spectrum frequencies are used as efficiently as possible, and to allow them to be used to support demand for new mobile broadband services in the future.</p><p> </p><p>In the vast majority of cases viewers should have seen no difference to their Freeview TV services. A simple re-tune of TV equipment should have restored services following a clearance event. A support scheme is available to viewers that have been affected by a clearance event. A help line is available to assist with concerns and provide advice on how to retune TV equipment.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 17/05/2018 15:10:40 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
