BBC Monitoring

Thursday 12th January 2017 Written Statements

[The Minister for Europe and the Americas (Sir Alan Duncan)]

Following the written statement by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, (HCWS358), on a Royal Charter for the continuance of the BBC, the Government and the BBC have agreed a new BBC monitoring agreement. The agreement took effect on 1 January 2017. BBC Monitoring will continue to be a publicly funded service under the licence fee arrangement.

I have placed a copy of the “BBC Monitoring Agreement” in the Libraries of both Houses.
