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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the statement on the BBC by Baroness Neville-Rolfe on 16 July, whether they plan to publish full details of the programme of public consultation proposed for the BBC; and how the public will be informed and advised about that programme.

The BBC Trust is planning a wide ranging programme of activity to engage the public. This will encompass a public consultation, separate and complementary to that launched by government. It will also include a seminar series that will be open to the public and programmes of research and online engagement. Information on these events will be included on the Charter Review area of the .gov.uk website.
