It’s an important point that the Member raises. It is something that we’re considering at the moment. What I can say is that the Assembly will now have powers to scrutinise the BBC—it’s not happened before, of course—to call it to appear before the Assembly and to hold it directly to account, which puts it on a par with the UK Parliament.

In terms of the issue that the Member raises, it is something that is still, as I say, under discussion in terms of the ability and the role of the National Assembly as part of that process.
