Examination of Witnesses (Questions 118-119)
Mr Alex Blowers
25 OCTOBER 2006
Q118Chairman: Good afternoon, Mr Blowers. I
know that you are going to send us a comprehensive response to
the innumerable questions we will ask you following this so you
can tidy up anything that has been left out.
Mr Blowers: Yes.
Q119 Chairman: Thank you for that
suggestion. We have read the brief summary background papers that
you have published. We are going to diverge from the format that
we sent you to try and hone in on some issues. We are going to
try and concentrate on the scope of the Directive. We are going
to discuss with you a range of issues there. We are going to discuss
with you some questions around advertising, on quotas in programming,
on issues of public interest and areas like that. Before we go
into questions I fear we only have 45 minutes. Is there anything
you want to say at all at this stage by way of introduction?
Mr Blowers: Lord Chairman, I would suggest we
just dive straight into your questions. You are pretty warmed-up
on this topic now.
