Explanatory Memorandum
The Government proposes to issue in the near
future two new licences under the principal Ordinance.
However, before the new licences are issued it is
proposed to amend the principal Ordinance extensively.
The purpose of this Bill is to postpone the
date of first renewal of the licence already issued to
TVB under the principal Ordinance until after the main
amending Bill has been enacted, so that the existing
licence may be, renewed on the same terms and conditions
as those on which it is proposed to issue the new
licences.
