Mr. Declan McLoughlin:

Following on from Ms Craig's point, fact-checking probably best rests with either civil society or journalists rather than a regulator because it involves the core editing of content. On that basis, the network which is made up of broadcasters might be a good vehicle to start to explore how they might support each other on that specific issue. We also need to bear in mind that broadcasters are in the public domain and they are fact-checked whether they like it or not by politicians or on Twitter-----
