Senedd Commissioner for Standards: evidence session
Yes. Just a couple of points on that. I, of course, see the suggestion that experience of the law might be separate from a degree of common sense as an interesting concept that might be explored in other ways. I suppose one way to look at it is, with lay…

Okay, thank you. I didn't really have any more points on that.

Senedd Commissioner for Standards: evidence session
Okay. Thank you for that, Douglas. I think that there is a broad range of understanding and agreement about that point. The perception point, I think, is particularly important. How people perceive things seems to me to be something that gives credibility to…

One of the problems I find with this is that the idea, the concept—. We've seen what's happened in Westminster, et cetera, and we've also seen the complications that have arisen out of the Westminster system. I think there's a big mistake in looking at…

If I could just take us on just a little bit forward—and this area is a very deep area and we could spend a lot of time on it, and we don't have that—just generally in terms of how the BBC performs for Wales, and specifically for Welsh audiences. The…

Just to come back a bit on the Media Act, in terms of specifics with regard to the obligations with regard to national and regional broadcasting, of course, one of the recommendations from this committee some time back was really in respect of the Act, that…

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 2 - Evidence session with academics
Just a few questions, moving on a little bit, particularly with regard to Wales and with regard to public service obligations in respect of Welsh-specific broadcasting as well. Obviously, the Media Act has created a focus on some of those obligations. Just…

So, it's something you're alert to and that you are effectively, I suppose, monitoring in a way. Perhaps you could just say a little bit about how you might do that, but also extending it into, obviously, the social media engagement that you have as well…

I suppose it's also an issue, isn't it, of educating from outside Wales those who are involved in production, in actually understanding—. It doesn't just apply to journalists, it applies to politicians as well, but—

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 1 - Evidence session with ITV
I will be succinct—it's really just to do with network news generally. Obviously, you have the Welsh news broadcasting focusing on issues within Wales, but, of course, you have the UK-wide broadcasting. One of the concerns that we have is actually how…

So, is there a plan that you—? For example, is there something where you'd say, 'Here is our plan, this is what our targets are, our objectives are, what we want to achieve', and something that we could actually look at and review?

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 1 - Evidence session with ITV
I understand that, but all I'm asking is a simple question, that there is not a specific Welsh strategic plan with regard to broadcasting in Wales. It is basically an appendage to a UK plan.

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 1 - Evidence session with ITV
Just on this, so I've got some clarity, is what you're saying that as far as broadcasting in Wales is concerned, there is no specific strategic Welsh plan?
