Since there are no sources for this article, there is also no evidence that this act is current (as claimed in the infobox). This act doesn't appear to be listed in http://legislation.uk.gov/1954 — which usually means that the entire act was repealed before 1991. Also, on a brief review of [1] (which includes the Television Act, 1954 within it), I was unable to find evidence that the Act prohibits "advertising breaks during broadcasts featuring the Royal Family", whatever that means. Someone needs to cite sources soon, or the article should be reduced to a stub, since it could be mostly WP:OR recollections with no foundation. --Closeapple (talk) 20:25, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
