"The government should take back funding of the 大象传媒's Monitoring service"

The Commons Defence Committee recommendation on grounds of national security.

Keir Giles, Chatham House:

"It's unusual that two separate parliamentary committees have come out with the same conclusion that the 大象传媒's plans are misguided and just plain wrong.

"There are some things that are incontrovertible, the committee points out that the building you (大象传媒 Radio Berkshire, and 大象传媒 Monitoring) are in, was purchased with government money and now the 大象传媒 wants to pocket the cash.

"The committee are suggesting adjusting and correcting that situation, so the people paying for the service are the ones that benefit from it."
