Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they plan to take to address the market failure identified by Ofcom in the provision of UK children's media content.
The Government recognises the important contribution children’s television makes to promoting British culture and the UK economy. In April, the Government introduced a new tax relief for children's ‘live action’ television productions to attract inward investment and support our domestic market. We have noted the issues identified by Ofcom and will continue to monitor the sector and consider whether further measures are needed.
