This section applies if the Secretary of State's conclusions on a review under section 339 include a finding—
that S4C has failed in any respect to perform its duty to fulfil its public service remit; and
that there is no reasonable excuse for the failure.
The Secretary of State may give S4C general or specific directions requiring them to take the steps that he considers will ensure that S4C perform their duty properly in future.
The Secretary of State is not to give a direction under this section unless a draft of the proposed direction has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House.
Before laying a proposed direction before Parliament, the Secretary of State must consult S4C.
It shall be the duty of S4C to comply with every direction under this section.
