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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of whether the must offer provision of the Communications Act 2003 is sufficient to ensure access to public service broadcast channels on non-discriminatory terms for all TV platforms.

The Government's consultation ‘the balance of payments between television platforms and public service broadcasters’ examined how the public service broadcasters' business models for the distribution for television content work. The focus of this consultation was on the commercial arrangements between broadcasters and PSB platforms - not subscription-free DTT platforms.
