Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions he has had with broadcasters about free to view broadcast of international football matches involving the home nations.
This question was answered on 14th July 2015
The Government recognises the important role that sport plays in all our lives and a Free-to-Air Listed Events regime has operated in the UK for many years. Taking into account the list, it is a commercial matter for the broadcasters to choose which sporting events to bid for.
