BBC: West Midlands Asked by: Alex Ballinger (Labour - Halesowen) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the BBC’s Digbeth development on regional storytelling in the West Midlands. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Government wants broadcasters to be more ambitious in growing the TV sector outside London and the South East and commissioning content nationwide, and for British storytelling to reflect the full diversity of people, communities and experiences across the UK. As part of Charter Review we are looking at how we can ensure the BBC’s commissioning, decision-making, and budgets truly reflect and deliver for all nations and regions of the UK. The BBC expected to open its Digbeth headquarters in Birmingham in 2027, an example of the positive role the BBC is playing in the West Midlands. This is expected to create over 900 jobs and encourage 200 new creative businesses in the region over the next decade.
BBC: Royal Charters Asked by: Alex Ballinger (Labour - Halesowen) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that a new BBC Charter provides sustainable and stable funding. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) As we consider BBC funding as part of Charter Review, we will look at how we can ensure the funding model is sustainable while also being fair and affordable for households. This will allow the BBC to deliver for all of us, drive growth of the creative industries, nurture talent, create jobs and invest across the whole of the UK. We are looking at a range of options, including how the BBC can operate more efficiently, generate more commercial revenue, and how the licence fee could be reformed. Decisions will be published in due course via the upcoming White Paper.
