Broadcasting Act 1990

6 (1) Every relevant licence shall contain all such provisions as the Commission consider requisite or expedient to ensure that—

(a) if, in view of any failure by the licence holder to comply with any condition of the licence or any direction given by the Commission, the Commission consider it necessary to do so in the public interest, or

(b) where the licence authorises the provision of a prescribed diffusion service, if the Commission consider it necessary to do so for the purpose of complying with paragraph 3 above, or

(c) where—

(i) the licence holder is a body, and

(ii) any change affecting the nature or characteristics of the body, or any change in the persons having control over or interests in the body, has taken place after the granting of the licence, and

(iii) the change is such that, if it fell to the Commission to determine whether to grant the licence to the body in the new circumstances of the case, they would be induced by the change to refrain from granting the licence to the body,

the Commission may revoke the licence by notice given to the licence holder and taking effect forthwith or on a date specified in the notice.

(2) Before revoking a licence under a provision included in a licence in pursuance of sub-paragraph (1), the Commission shall—

(a) give the licence holder a reasonable opportunity of making representations to them about the matters complained of; and

(b) consult the licensing authorities for the purposes of the [1984 c. 12.] Telecommunications Act 1984.
