Oral Answers to Questions

Lord McLoughlin Excerpts

Thursday 10th May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Matt Hancock]

Of course, as well as moving its national headquarters outside London, Channel 4 has committed to increase its production spend outside London to 50%, much of which will end up in the devolved nations. I am delighted to say that Channel 4 currently seems to be very popular right across the country. Once it has made its decision to go to one particular place, I hope it remains popular everywhere else.

[Sir Patrick McLoughlin (Derbyshire Dales) (Con)]

But would not Birmingham be a better choice?

[Matt Hancock]

I like to make decisions, but I am delighted that this is one I do not have to make.
