As my Rt. Hon. Friend [the Minister of State for Digital and Culture] made clear in his response to the Urgent Question on 12 December [tabled by the Hon. Member for Cardiff West [Kevin Brennan] [vol 618 col 512]] the role of Secretary of State here will be a quasi judicial one and she will make decisions and announcements in accordance with the requirements of such a role.
