Asked if the Prime Minister thought that Ofcom was doing a good job, the PMS said that Ofcom was an independent regulator.

Asked if the Prime Minister still wanted to change or abolish it, the PMS advised people to speak to DCMS about the Government’s policy on Ofcom.

Asked if the Prime Minister was happy with the idea of a delay over the referral process, the PMS said that the Prime Minister did not have a role in that process, so would not be commenting on it.

The PMS said that this was a decision for Jeremy Hunt; he would act in a quasi-judicial role and there was a strict process in place. He would take advice from his officials and lawyers and the process would be followed to the letter.

On whether Jeremy Hunt discussed his decision to refer it with the Prime Minister, the PMS said that the Prime Minister first learned of the decision when he heard about it on the radio this morning.
