What this does not establish
The records above establish that Broadcasting roundtable: Clare Sumner (Director of Policy), BBC; Gareth Barr (Controller of Policy & Regulatory Strategy), ITV; Helen Jay (Head of Policy and Corporate Affairs), Channel 4; ITN; David Montgomery, (Chairman), Local TV Network; Kirsty Leith (Head of Public Affairs), Global; Travis Baxter (Content and External Affairs Director), Bauer; Jimmy Buckland (Director of Strategy), Wireless; Adam Kinsley (Director of Policy), Sky; Kate Biggs (Director, Content Media Policy Group), Ofcom, Mitchell Simmons (Government Relations Europe), Viacom; Owen Evans (Chief Executive), S4C; Simon Pitts (Chief Executive), STV; Iseabail Mactaggart (Director of Strategy and Partnership), MG Alba. and each entity named appear together in an official register, in the relationship that register records, on the date it records. They do not establish why any donation was made, why any contract was awarded, whether any one record was known to the people behind another, or that any record caused another. No causal inference is made on this page, and nothing here is a finding of any kind against anyone. A reported donation is a lawful, reported transaction; a contract award is a published notice; a seat is a seat.
