10 Mar 2026 Local Government Reorganisation: South-east

It is a great pleasure to see you in the Chair, Mr Vickers. I commend the hon. Member for Surrey Heath (Dr Pinkerton) for bringing this important subject to the House today. It is great to see MPs from across the House here in Westminster Hall, although with 400-odd Labour MPs and quite a few in the south-east these da

If we take the set of things that are not made by, let’s say BBC and Channel 5—I don’t know which other production houses we would want to have on that list—actually, what proportion is covered by the BBC and Channel 5, for a start, as we have talked about them most in this session, within the Made for Kids category?

I will ask you to write to us because we will be writing to our constituents who will be very interested to hear. Thank you.

Okay. For 13 to 17-year-olds—I have children of this age, but I had to look this up—I gather you need a thing called Google Family Link, is that right? Is that the main way that you have some control? What proportion of 13 to 17-year-olds’ parents are using Google Family Link set to, I think, “Explore more”? Therefore,

Maybe the answer is that your research says that they do not need one, but what is the approach and why?

There is no product for them. There is “Newsbeat” on the radio, but what is the product for a 14, 15, 16 year-old?

Thank you. Patricia, do you think older children, particularly teenagers, are well served for news on television rather than radio?

Patricia, will there be a change in programming as a result of Vote 16?

If we can do these quite quickly, that would be great. Iain, if there is a ban on social media for under 16s, do you anticipate that having an effect on the BBC and, if so, what?

Thank you.

Although they do famously change their algorithms with no notice to anybody.

3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Do you think that disadvantages you in their recommender systems?

I meant not taking the revenue sharing.

Sorry, I am speaking out of turn here, so I am trying to be as quick as possible. Just to check, everything you just said about YouTube, does that also apply to Meta and to TikTok?

Sorry, it was a rhetorical question.

So, there is your half, but there is also their half. So if they are not getting any remuneration for showing your content, do you think that helps you in the algorithm?

Isn’t there another question as well? So what is it, 55:45?

3 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

I wanted to follow up very quickly on that question about ad revenue on YouTube. Obviously, people on YouTube are used to there being ads. Almost all content must have pre-roll and mid-roll ads, and so on. Do you consider you are not allowed to have revenue? The viewer has not gone to a BBC property. They have gone to

I am sorry to slightly press you. Does the data tell you anything? Is there a benefit or a disbenefit? In the olden days when someone watched an hour’s worth or an hour and a half’s worth or whatever it was, there was a variety. Does that matter?

Although you can still just binge on a single programme on iPlayer.
