Thank you very much. You've mentioned how you're monitoring the internal culture, but what about externally? Because clearly, the relationship that you have with the independent sector, for example, is key in terms of dignity and respect and that sort of…

I'm very pleased about that assurance on Clic, for that exact reason. So, I think that's a very important point to emphasise, that you still need the funding to be able to invest in Clic for that prominence, because, otherwise, it'll be a BBC iPlayer tile…

It's really important in terms of the media landscape here in Wales, and independent companies as well. It plays a vital role. And I'm not surprised to hear the First Minister having those important discussions around the creative industries, which is a huge…

Certainly. I don't think we'd dispute that, I think, in terms of your traineeships, where that then takes them to other broadcasters and so on.

In terms of your comments around—. As you said, every charter's important, but at this point in time, in terms of that funding model, do you have a preferred way that you'd like to see, as the BBC, because obviously all the evidence points, where there is…

And in terms of any consideration about a charter specific to each of the nations, is that something that's been explored, considered?

But, obviously, the charter review comes at a critical point for the BBC, but also in terms of public service broadcasting. In terms of the Green Paper, I just wondered in terms of your reflections, perhaps, in terms of its importance and the opportunities…

Can I also ask a point in terms of the Welsh language? Often we see, on news coverage, in terms of speeches from the Senedd and so on, if people are speaking in English, they may be shown—those clips—but in English language broadcasting, it is not always the…

Yes, I just wanted to ask in terms of Welsh language and where you see it within YouTube. Because, obviously, one of the things that we are seeing is more younger people saying that they are watching YouTube, but also that they think that they have to create…

I would like to thank the committee for its work. I think the report and the recommendations are very sensible. Clearly, the ombudsman's work is a key element in terms of citizens' rights in Wales in holding public services to account. In an age when…
