Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Polish counterpart on the importance of a free media.

Media freedom is a priority for the UK. HMG believe that people must be able to discuss and debate issues freely, and have access to information provided by a strong, robust and independent media. We are following developments closely and will raise our concerns with the Polish Government if we judge that the plurality of the Polish media is threatened.
