| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I was going to ask about tax credits, but they have come up quite a few times already. Is it fair to assume that there is nothing more to say that you have not already expressed on tax credits and how you would like them to change? Oh dear—from the look on your faces I see that is not true to say. If anybody has someth…” | 81 |

| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “If there is nothing further on tax credits, can I ask about costs? In the Pact evidence comparing 2024 with 2018, it talks about the flat cash in PSB spends. I have done this amateurishly while we have been sitting here, but I think that, if we just apply normal inflation, there was a 23% decrease in spend. There was a…” | 72 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “We take it with all caveats. Back in 2007, when the ad ban came in, presumably there were people who were saying, “This is going to stop a lot of programming of children’s content.”” | 34 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “They are not making totally basic, semi-automated products. That is not the minimum viable product.” | 15 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “It would help us to challenge—you do not have to give us something that is going to move a market; we just need to know how many zeros there are in it.” | 32 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Can you give us a benchmark of how much it costs, or the minimum infrastructure that you need?” | 17 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Adam, the cancellation of CITV is a bit vexing for reasons that include the future audience marketing aspect that you mentioned. What is the minimum cost of running a channel? Obviously, you can put an awful lot into a channel, such as a 24-hour output and star presenters. On the other end of the scale, you can have a …” | 97 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Okay, but that ought to bring a revenue expectation with it, presumably.” | 12 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “But there is a revenue to come with that?” | 9 |
| 16 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Is that another way of saying that children's television presenters are paid a lot more than they used to be?” | 20 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339) “Bless, thank you. Going back to the employment question. Can you come back to basics and say, typically for events, what the employment contract is? Is it with a venue typically or with an event, like a one-off or an occasional entity, or is it typically with a temp agency, if you are the individual? I do not know who …” | 67 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339) “Yes. Nick, can I pick you up on what you were talking about there on employment? What do you think will be the effects of the Employment Rights Bill on this sector?” | 32 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339) “This is about trying to understand what the effect of the Employment Rights Bill will be, because it will be different. If you have a one-off event, you do not even get to the length of the reference period, do you, to be able to measure it? If you are in a venue, you will have seasonality, like busy periods, not busy …” | 134 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339) “On Government support, and particularly, as you were saying, time sometimes, not just money, this is perhaps something we could go large on in our report. I do not want to put words in your mouth, but part of my experience on this is that not only is it sometimes difficult to tie Ministers down early on for events, but…” | 124 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339) “Who are these people? We need to meet them.” | 9 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339) “We will come on to infrastructure shortly. I do not want to cut you off but can I check, is somebody currently working on trying to make the world’s preeminent AI show come to Britain?” | 35 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339) “You say it needs to. Can you start with what it does and then we will move on to what it should do?” | 23 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339) “Let’s say you have a sector like life sciences or AI, where the sector itself has an interest and the Government of the country also has an interest in growing. What role do Government play in trying to stimulate the creation of large-scale business events in this country, rather than in Silicon Valley or in Geneva or …” | 62 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339) “As you say, the earlier you get it, the better for inviting other people, for organising events and so on. Clearly we would like to grow this market. You need growth areas to be able to do that. If there is a growth area, probably someone has already nabbed it. Are there sectors that are under-served currently with lar…” | 86 |
