Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what the level of funding will be for the BBC World Service from April 2022.
We strongly value the work of the BBC World Service and its independent and impartial broadcasting. In 2021-22, the FCDO is providing a total of £94.4 million to the World Service. The FCDO is committed to providing funding for the BBC World Service through to 2025, with final allocations to be confirmed after the conclusion of the FCDO business planning process.
