Written Question
Public Service Broadcasting: Streaming
Monday 22nd June 2026

Asked by: Jeff Smith (Labour - Manchester Withington)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to introduce regulation to ensure the (a) prominence of UK public service broadcaster content on YouTube and other major Video Sharing Platforms and (b) distribution of that content on equitable commercial terms.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Department has held a series of Ministerial roundtables with the public service media providers and video sharing platforms to encourage industry led voluntary partnerships ensuring public service media content is made prominent, and on fair terms. While our strong preference is for voluntary agreements, and we are undertaking work to promote these, if we need to legislate we will.
