Mr. Mark Griffin:
There are different types of monitoring. The BAI has a very significant role in monitoring the organisation in terms of compliance with its public service objects and making sure it is balanced in its commentary and so on. One will see the BAI making comment one way or the other on specific issues that have been referred to it or that it has identified. There is a very strong and formal regulatory role for the BAI.
