Commercial Broadcasting: Radio
Asked by: Lord Storey (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to require set amounts of local news from local commercial radio stations. Answered by Baroness Twycross - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) Local radio continues to bring communities together by reflecting local experiences and delivering local news and information. However, it does so against a backdrop of changing listener behavior, with only around 20% of commercial radio listening now on AM or FM.
In light of this, the Media Act 2024 removed detailed requirements that only applied to stations holding AM and FM commercial radio licences and set out how their local services should be operated. These were replaced with new obligations that prioritise the broadcast of local news and information regularly, including “locally-gathered” news - a key part of radio’s public value.
Further details on the required frequency of local news broadcasts is set out in the guidance which Ofcom published on 25 February this year, titled “Provision of local news and information on analogue commercial radio”. The precise requirements will continue to vary by individual licence and Ofcom will be engaging directly with Licensees on how any changes impact them.

Drownings
Asked by: Lord Storey (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Tuesday 28th April 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government whether drowning prevention is included in the terms of reference of the Public Health Water Taskforce chaired by the Chief Medical Officer. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Health and safety risks unrelated to water quality, including physical risks such as drowning, are outside of the Public Health Water Taskforce remit. The full terms of reference will be published shortly on the GOV.UK website. |

GB News: Political Impartiality
Asked by: Lord Storey (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Ofcom about the compliance of GB News with maintaining balance in news coverage and current affairs. Answered by Baroness Twycross - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) Ministers and officials have regular discussions with Ofcom on a range of issues. However, Ofcom, by law, carries out its regulation of licensed broadcasters independently of the Government. Ofcom is required by legislation, and accountable to Parliament, to draw up and enforce a Broadcasting Code to ensure that news, in whatever form, is reported with due accuracy and presented with due impartiality. Due impartiality must also be preserved on matters of major political or industrial controversy and major matters relating to current public policy.
The Government strongly believes in an independent media and does not intervene in Ofcom's operational decisions.
