Yes. At every available opportunity, the issue of full coverage in Northern Ireland is raised frequently by my colleagues at a technical and political level, which will be welcomed by Members. In the talks about the different multiplexes, digital terrestrial television might allow for arrangements that are not currently possible. We will try to ensure all the channels will be available in both directions, which would foster better relations. I hope something will come of that.

I thank Members once again for their interest in the Bill. I will take some of their suggestions on board and I look forward to working with Members on Committee Stage.
