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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to her Department's press release entitled Lucy Frazer's speech to the Royal Television Society, published on 20 September 2023, if she will publish the terms of reference of her Department’s review on the future of TV distribution.

As outlined by the Secretary of State in her speech to the Royal Television Society convention in September, the Department has commenced a programme of research and engagement on the future of TV distribution. This work will look at a range of themes, including changing audience viewing habits and developments in technology which are changing the way content is brought to our screens.

The project will take a long-term view of the trajectory of the UK’s broadcasting landscape over the next decade and beyond. It is therefore important that we ensure the full range of considerations are taken into account. We expect to set out further detail in due course.
