Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

I thought that there would only be more referendums on European matters if treaties were proposed that would take powers away, but that is—I hope—a debate for another day. I am still somewhat perplexed about the Minister's understanding of ““broadcast”” and ““programme””. I recognise that there are parallels in other legislation, but the concept of what constitutes the expense is material in this context. Is it the expense of making the referendum broadcast, which might include the cost of filming and so forth, or is it the expense of broadcasting the programme?
