Television: Broadcasting Programmes
Asked by: Rupa Huq (Labour - Ealing Central and Acton) Wednesday 13th March 2024 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to protect television production in the UK. Answered by Julia Lopez - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Government has set out a clear plan to grow the creative industries by a further £50 billion and add another 1 million jobs by 2030. That includes supporting the growth of television and film production. Since 2010, the Government has introduced a range of tax reliefs across the creative industries, including expanded relief for film and high-end television. Our screen sector tax relief alone is estimated to be worth more than £13 billion in GVA to the UK economy. The Government’s support for the independent television production sector continues to be underpinned by the hugely successful terms of trade regime. The Media Bill, currently before Parliament, therefore protects and updates the regime, as well as public service broadcasters’ independent production quotas, to reflect changes in technology and the way viewers are watching content. We have also taken a number of additional steps to ensure that British film and television companies are able to invest in production, expand their businesses and offer opportunities for cast and crew across the UK. This is why in the Spring Budget we have announced a number of generous tax reliefs for the sector, including a 40% relief on business rates for eligible studio spaces in England until 2034 and a 5% increase in tax relief for visual effects costs, which will not be subject to the 80% cap in the High End TV Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit. This will incentivise high-end television productions to remain in the UK for both filming and their visual effects. The Government will continue our wider support for the sector by investing in studio infrastructure, supporting innovation, and promoting independent content through the UK Global Screen Fund. |
Streaming
Asked by: Nick Fletcher (Conservative - Don Valley) Wednesday 13th March 2024 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she plans to take to ensure that Ofcom's review of video-on-demand services' (a) age ratings and (b) other audience protection measures, as required by section 32 of the draft Media Bill, is sufficiently thorough. Answered by Julia Lopez - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Media Bill will give Ofcom an enhanced ongoing duty to assess all video-on-demand providers’ audience protection measures – such as age ratings, content warning, and parental controls – to ensure that the systems put in place are effective and fit for purpose, as they have done with broadcast television. |
Press Recognition Panel
Asked by: Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour - Life peer) Friday 1st March 2024 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the eighth annual report of the Press Recognition Panel, and what steps they plan to take in response to the three main recommendations contained therein. Answered by Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) HM Government has no plans to take forward the three main recommendations made in the Press Recognition Panel’s eighth annual report on the recognition system. The Government committed in its manifesto to the repeal of Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013, which we will do through the Media Bill, and has consistently supported the independent self-regulation of the press. |
Commercial Broadcasting: Radio
Asked by: Baroness Kennedy of Cradley (Labour - Life peer) Monday 19th February 2024 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the success of commercial radio in the UK. Answered by Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) His Majesty’s Government strongly supports a vibrant radio sector, including national and local commercial stations as well as community stations and the BBC, which between them provide a rich variety of choice for listeners across the UK. The UK’s commercial radio sector now accounts for approximately 55% of radio listening in the UK, according to figures published by RAJAR for Quarter 4 2023, with 39 million people tuning in to national or local commercial stations at least once a week. This compares to 42% of radio listening and 34 million listeners in Quarter 4 2013. The growth in commercial radio listening over the past 10 years is thanks to the investment the sector has made to develop and grow new services and its ability to adapt what it offers to listeners on digital radio or via internet-connected devices such as smart speakers. The measures in the Media Bill to reduce regulatory burdens on commercial radio and to secure protections for the carriage of radio on smart speaker devices are intended to help support and secure commercial radio’s long-term future. |
