Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when he expects (a) the public responses and (b) the Government's response to the Government consultation on the BBC Charter Review to be published.

The Government's BBC Charter Review Consultation closed in October having received over 190,000 responses - the second largest response to any Government consultation.

These responses are currently being read and analysed and, once this process is completed, findings from the consultation will be published. The Government response to the consultation will be set out in a White Paper in the Spring.
