Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

Section 1 clearly states:

"premium rate service" means a service having all of the following characteristics:

(a) it consists in the provision of the contents of communications (other than a broadcasting service)...

One cannot state a broadcaster is a premium rate service provider because, under the definition of a premium rate service provider, a broadcaster is excluded. The Minister cannot state that; it is simply not true.
