Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the BBC Charter renewal advisory panel has the power to compel evidence from the people and institutions from whom they wish to hear.
In its consideration of policy and process issues for the Charter Review, it is envisaged that the Advisory Group will consider a range of sources of evidence – including, but not limited to, responses to the Government’s consultation, and publicly available sources of evidence such as the BBC’s strategy documents. There are no current plans for evidence, written or oral, to be taken in public by the Advisory Group.
