The Broadcasting (Number of Houses in an Area for Purposes of Diffusion Service Licence) Order 1990
Paragraph 7(1) of Part II of Schedule 12 (transitional provisions relating to existing cable services) to the Broadcasting Act 1990 disapplies certain paragraphs of that Part in respect of a licence to provide a diffusion service in an area in which there are not more dwelling-houses than the number prescribed by the Secretary of State by order. This Order exercises that power and the number 1,000 is prescribed. Paragraph 7(1) also provides that such a licence shall cease to have effect.
