Public Confidence in the Media and Police

It is an interesting idea, which my hon. Friend can put to this inquiry. I think the key is—I am biased, as I worked in ITV for many years—that you do need strong, independent television to give people a choice of news. I have made many mistakes in my life, and I think one of them was agreeing, briefly, that it was a good idea to move the ““News at Ten””. I think it was a very bad decision, and a proper plurality in news is very important.
