BBC

Mark Menzies Excerpts

Thursday 15th September 2016 Commons Chamber

[Karen Bradley]

I simply do not agree that there will be an impact on programming when the BBC’s guaranteed licence fee is rising in line with inflation over a five-year period.

[Mark Menzies (Fylde) (Con)]

I welcome the statement, but will the Secretary of State assure me that the excellent training and development and apprenticeship programmes run by the BBC will not be affected by the charter review?

[Karen Bradley]

I can give my hon. Friend that assurance.
