I am sorry for throwing, in cricket parlance, a googly at the Minister at this stage in the debate. The BCI currently has a website and anybody who wishes to access information on any of the licensed radio stations in this country can do so through that website. Perhaps the Minister, in his discussions on the implementation of this scheme, might be able to advance these views and encourage the BCI to look in that direction. I accept the Minister's point that the purpose of this legislation is to ensure that the money is spent on the creation of the type of programmes listed and the archiving of those programmes. My proposal was simply a follow up on that. Perhaps the Minister will consider it a worthy dimension to the BAI legislation.

Question put and agreed to.

Section 4 agreed to.

SECTION 5.
