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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many officials in his Department are working on broadcast licensing as part of any future trade deal that the UK agrees with the EU.

Staff within DCMS’ Media Team and EU Team lead on providing advice to Ministers on broadcasting and EU exit. Members of staff across the Department also provide advice and analyses on EU exit issues as required. Given the interactions between broadcasting policy, EU exit work and the Department's other priorities, it would not be possible to give an accurate figure.
