Ms Dee Forbes:
The majority of our legal team is in-house. There are times when we need to go out of house, perhaps for specialist help but we have a legal team that works regularly with our programming teams, particularly in the area of investigative journalism, which is highly risky. We have lots of obligations in terms of, for example, compliance in respect of which we need to have legal expertise in-house on a regular basis. We also have a lot of legal staff on contracts.
