To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

2. Is concerned by the significant decline in ITV Wales's broadcasting hours, and significant cuts to S4C and its current uncertain financial position;

3. Is also concerned about the position of Welsh-language and Welsh broadcasting on commercial radio and local television, along with the impact of the UK Government's proposals to further regulate the radio market;

4. Notes that Wales needs to be at the forefront of the development of media technologies and that Welsh-language and Welsh broadcasting needs to be on a broader number of platforms and modes of producing, publishing and distributing content;

5. Notes that the publication by Departure of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport of the independent review of S4C being undertaken by Euryn Ogwen Williams is still awaited;

6. Calls on the UK Government and broadcasters to ensure that both Welsh and English language broadcasting in Wales is funded adequately;

7. Recognises that the public service broadcasters should be fully accountable to all national parliaments of the United Kingdom, as appropriate to their remit;

8. Notes the statutory obligation on the UK Government to provide S4C with sufficient funds to carry out its purposes;

9. Calls on the Welsh Government and the Assembly to press for the retention of the statutory obligation on the UK Government to provide S4C with sufficient funds to carry out its purposes to fund any expanded purposes that S4C may acquire following the Ogwen review;

10. Notes the increased obligations imposed on the BBC regarding portrayal and commissioning in the nations and regions in its renewed charter;

11. Notes that a UK national broadcasting system is better placed to reach all nations and regions to promote understanding of devolution, notwithstanding that it has failed to do so to date.

Point of order—Paul Davies.

Diolch, Llywydd. I raise this point of order under Plenary business. In light of the fact that this place has just voted in favour of today's joint debate between the Welsh Conservatives and Plaid Cymru, calling on the Permanent Secretary to publish her recent report into the leaking of Welsh Government information, I'd like to seek clarification from you, Llywydd, on the status of today's vote. Given that this Parliament has now voted in favour of this motion calling for greater transparency, I therefore ask for your guidance on whether this vote, on behalf of the people of Wales, should now be respected.  

Thank you for that point. Any vote of the National Assembly is important and has effect and it is for the Government now, of course, to decide how it chooses to respond, but I would expect it to take seriously any resolution passed by this Parliament.
