Mr. Bob Collins:

We have been asked this question before. When we made the rebalancing proposal, we did not consult on it with anyone. There would have been no point in our doing that when the proposal was to the Government and needed to be made before there was any prospect of a decision being taken. Putting it out to consultation before making our proposal to the Government and getting a sense of the Government's response would have been to put the cart before the horse. The process is currently open and independent and will undoubtedly engage with the advertising sector.
