Is my hon. Friend aware that at the weekend the managing director of Scottish Television said that he thought that

"the way the bill is written at the moment is a very, very good" solution

"for regional broadcasting in the future", and that it

"clearly protects quality and diversity"?

Is not that the real voice of those in Scotland who are concerned about broadcasting in Scotland? I suggest that my hon. Friend listens to that voice rather than to the negative voices that we have heard from Opposition Members this afternoon.
