I welcome the Secretary of State to his new position, and I am sure he will do a very good job. I am also sure that he is aware that the "Digital Britain" report raises concerns about, and makes recommendations on, the future of regional news and regional content. Does he not agree that reallocating the money currently used for implementing digital TV would be one way of ensuring that the regions continue to get regional news and programme content on independent television?
