Ms Maeve Donovan:

I think that is probably the case for many publishers. The Guardianwould be a comparable publisher in that regard. I know from some of the commentary the committee has had over the last while that The Guardianis regarded as whiter than white in its behaviour. With regard to digital acquisitions, The Guardianwas first out of the traps and paid an extraordinary amount of money in the 1990s for AutoTrader, a car website. AutoTradersubsequently bought carzone.ieand has had a strong presence on this island as a result. I have never heard anyone suggest The Guardianwent easy on the automotive industries because of that. I am sorry as that is a digression.
