Broadcasting Programmes: Children

Mr. MacNeil
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what response she has made to the recent Ofcom report on the trend in levels of spending on domestically-originated television programming for UK children; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Woodward
None. The data on spending on domestically-originated programming for UK children represent one strand of the Ofcom review of children's television. I await the conclusion of the review with interest.
