Well, I entirely agree with what the Member has said. I think local populations have a right to see what goes on in their name in their council chambers. That’s why the White Paper proposes that broadcasting council meetings should be a statutory requirement, rather than simply a request of local authorities, and the vast majority of local authorities in Wales are already well on that road. I hope that our White Paper will give a further impetus to doing that right across Wales.
