The main ITV channel was not part of any deal as far as I am aware from what I have read. Of course, the public service requirements regarding the duty to broadcast free of charge on all platforms and to take a prominent position in the EPG is laid down separately.
Yes, the information was regarding ITV2 etc.

If September is correct, I guess there has been some kind of temporary agreement to continue distribution of the other channels

If it was the case that the September 2015 deal was in fact for ITV (1) only, I guess that this agreement has presumably been superceded by the change in the law.
