I think all colleagues know that the antisiphoning list is often discussed by various media organisations. Clearly, there are some media organisations that are more content with the status quo, and there are some other media organisations that are less content with the status quo. The antisiphoning list has altered over time. There are, on occasion, items on the antisiphoning list that get amended. As I have indicated previously, I think that there is a consensus in the community that some sporting events are of national significance and it is appropriate for them to be on that antisiphoning list. I do not think anyone in this chamber would propose that those be removed from the antisiphoning list. (Time expired)
