I thank the Minister. Help can mean providing full information to assist people. All that the amendment does is underline that. If the Minister is in such agreement, it is difficult to understand why he cannot include this modest wording in the Bill. In practice, the provision of help is being given to the BBC, which would not be human if it did not occasionally think, ““Well, why should be giving out too much to help our competition?””. That is why the maximum amount of clarity is desirable in the Bill. I hope that the Minister will come around to my way of thinking.
