Publishing

Volume 471: debated on Monday 4 February 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what consideration he has given to Ofcom's proposal to establish a public service publisher. (178760)

The Government welcome the work Ofcom has done to develop the idea of a public service publisher and notes that it proposes to consider the issue further as part of its current review of public service broadcasting. Ofcom's conclusions in this area will be a key input to our review of the future funding of public service broadcasting. The Government's Convergence Think Tank will also be considering ways in which universal access to high quality content can be sustained.
