To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the privatisation of Channel 4 on the independent production sector in the UK.
No decisions have been made on the future of Channel 4. The Government is considering how best to ensure Channel 4's future sustainability, while maintaining its ability to deliver against its remit.
