- Appointment of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Electronic Communications (20 May 2009)
Don Foster: ...to some presenters and so-called top talent. Despite that, however, I value the BBC and I value the values for which it stands. Introducing the debate, the hon. Member for South-West Surrey (Mr. Hunt) said that it had come at a time when there was a huge debate about trust in politicians. He is right, but let me remind him that trust in the BBC has never been greater. A recent poll by the...

Don Foster: ...too, thank the Secretary of State for advance copies of his statement and the interim "Digital Britain" report from his apparently converged Minister. As the hon.

- Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: National Lottery (15 Jan 2008)
Don Foster: ...I believe that all parts of the United Kingdom will benefit in a variety of ways. However, this debate is about the lottery. I am delighted to follow the hon. Member for South-West Surrey (Mr. Hunt), who said that it was vital for the Government to keep their sticky little hands out of decisions about the lottery. I entirely agree.

The Secretary of State rightly pointed out that many other issues, such as the need to improve...
