Is it not time that the Secretary of State should not have to look over the shoulder of Ofcom all the time? Is this not an example where that should be the case? We will obviously consider that extensive response in the fullness of time. But given the need to press on with further business, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 96 withdrawn. Amendment 96A Moved by
