Hello and welcome back. We are moving now to item 3, and we're still looking at public service broadcasting, but we have an evidence session now with academics and with BECTU, and we're very much looking forward to that. I'll ask our witnesses to introduce…

As I said, we will write to you with that in case there was more, because we appreciate that's a very large topic to have brought up in the final two minutes of the session. Can I thank you very much for the time this morning? A transcript of what's been said…

Okay, thank you. I'm very aware that one of our Members hasn't had time yet to ask a question. So, I'm going to go to Gareth next, because we are running out of time vastly. Gareth.

On that, I was just wondering, presumably Ofcom will be giving you guidance on impartiality with reporting because of the Senedd election, in order to help you or to guide you with that?

Thank you. We have less than 20 minutes left of the session, so we'll need to try to be agile, but I have confidence in everyone that we'll be able to do that. Lee wanted to come in on another issue, and then I'll be coming back to Mick.

Forgive me, please, for interrupting you. We do appreciate that, but the vision that we would like to see reflected is something that you at least sympathise with and that's something that you would consider taking on.
