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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much her Department has spent on promoting media literacy in each year since 2008.

Ofcom is responsible for promoting Media Literacy, including through annual research on the media lives and attitudes of adults and children, and works closely with other agencies who use the findings to develop specific actions and initiatives to promote Media Literacy. We regularly engage with Ofcom in the discharging of their duties.
