Mr. Adrian Lynch:

He said two things to me on the phone. First, the reason he is not here - he wrote a note to his staff to explain - is that he has been significantly unwell and that continues to be the case. Once he is better and in a condition to be able to come before the House, he will do so. Second, as director of content, he has an editorial role. He wanted that to be emphasised. That was all, but in time we will have a full account.
