I thank the Minister for her comprehensive speech setting out the benefits of the order. I am particularly pleased to hear of the ongoing dialogue with the sector and the emerging strategy. Will she reassure Members that the changes will not leave behind some of the smaller, perhaps rural, stations, if, for example, they are unable to attract commercial support? They often represent the smaller, vulnerable and under-represented parts of society.
