be shown on free-to-air television rather than behind a paywall, so that they can

accessibility and the ability of sporting organisations to generate revenues from
commercial broadcast arrangements to invest in the development of their sports from
the grassroots up. The Government believes that the current list strikes an appropriate
balance, and has no current plans to undertake a full review of the events on the
list.</p>
