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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much funding the BBC has received from the EU in the last five years; and what conditions were attached to the use of such funding.

The Department does not hold this information. Under government accounting guidelines organisations are required to publish all income received, however they are not required to publish individual grants unless they are significant for their own accounts. Under the terms of the Royal Charter and Agreement, the BBC is able to seek alternative sources of funding, within a strict framework which is set and administered by the BBC Trust.
