I propose to take Questions Nos. 123, 137 and 143 together.

I have no plans currently to introduce broadcasting legislation.

There are several areas of broadcasting policy which are actively being considered by my Department, including most specifically the question of a broadcasting charge to replace the existing method of funding public service broadcasting. When due consideration has been given to these issues and decisions have been made on policy, legislative measures will follow as appropriate.
