Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

That is on my next page. We have already discussed salary levels. The rationale does not change on that. In light of the level of trust put in our presenters, who are our public face, we need to get good people. Our people are in demand from other organisations. It is a competitive market. We will try to pay the best price. Frankly, quite a few people will work for us for less money than they could get elsewhere because they believe in public service broadcasting. I am aware of several people who have been offered jobs elsewhere in the past 12 months for more money, but have chosen to stay with us because they believe in what we are doing. They are well paid by us but they were offered more money elsewhere. We are constantly working on salary reductions. I would not agree with the Deputy's suggestion that a presenter would have no empathy with the people whose stories he or she is covering because he or she is paid a certain amount of money.
