| Select Committee Inquiry |
|---|
|
31 Oct 2024
British film and high-end television 2 Culture, Media and Sport Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is to continue work from the last Parliament examining the challenges faced by the British film and high-end television industry and how the sector and its workforce can be better supported. Previous Committee inquiry: British film & high-end tv The new inquiry will build on the successes of the last. It will continue to examine the attractiveness of the UK as a global destination for production and what more could be done to ensure it has the skilled workforce it needs. It will also look at the ethical use of artificial intelligence in film-making and probe the work of the BFI and the Government’s vision for the sector. |
|
5 Nov 2024
BBC World Service Culture, Media and Sport Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is to hold a short inquiry into the BBC World Service. The World Service broadcasts in 42 languages, including English, reaching an estimated 320 million people globally each week. Most of the World Service’s global audience access the World Service in its local language. BBC World Service is funded primarily from the UK licence fee alongside additional funding from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. The recent Budget announcement included extra funds for the World Service, from the FCDO budget, but only for the financial year 2025-26. BBC Director General Tim Davie has argued that funding for the World Service should be the responsibility of central Government, as it used to be before 2014. The Committee’s inquiry will look at the services the World Service provides, how it is paid for, the challenges it faces operating around the world, and the pressures funding the World Service from the licence fee places on other BBC services. The inquiry will run parallel to another inquiry on the World Service from the Foreign Affairs Committee. |
|
28 Nov 2024
Game On: Community and school sport Culture, Media and Sport Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is to examine the health of sport in local communities and schools and whether more can be done to sustain and grow sporting opportunities for all. The inquiry will look at the funding available for sport in the community, how volunteers can be better supported and how to open up grassroots sport to under-represented groups. It will also look at the role of schools in delivering sporting opportunities both in and outside of school hours and how children can be supported to develop a positive life-long relationship with physical activity. The Committee will additionally investigate the ways in which national and local government, clubs, sports organisations and sports governing bodies can work together to improve the delivery of school and grassroots sport. |
|
11 Dec 2024
Protecting built heritage Culture, Media and Sport Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is to examine the importance of built heritage in the UK and the barriers to its preservation. The inquiry will examine issues with funding and whether current finance models are suitable and accessible. It will also engage with how the Government can tackle practical and regulatory challenges, such as the availability of skilled practitioners, the managed decline of assets on publicly-owned land, and policy issues arising from net zero targets and planning policy. Alongside this, MPs will highlight the importance of built heritage for economic regeneration and to community identities, as well as how those communities can be empowered to manage their local built heritage assets. |

19 Dec 2024
