Government of Wales Bill

I apologise for not being here for the beginning of the debate, but I had a meeting with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. The amendments seek to expand the competency of the National Assembly in various areas. On broadcasting, there is an anomaly in the devolution settlement: cultural policy is devolved and will continue to be so, but broadcasting remains entirely a reserved matter. That is not acceptable, because broadcasting is arguably one of the most important and far-reaching cultural media we have.
