Written Question
Thursday 7th September 2017
Asked by:
John Grogan (Labour - Keighley)
Question
to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the effect on the sporting listed events of the UK leaving the EU; and whether she has plans to review the list of such events.
Answered by Matt Hancock
The Listed Events regime is underpinned by UK law in the Broadcasting Act 1996. The government is assessing how the reciprocal recognition of the listed events between Member States will work after the UK’s departure from the EU. This will depend on the UK’s future relationship with the EU, but will not change while we remain a Member State. The government currently has no plans to review the list of events.
