| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “That is an important point, but it would still cost some money. Do you have any idea how much?” | 19 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “That is really interesting. What can the Government do, as part of the charter process, to support podcasting in the ways that you have talked about?” | 26 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Thanks. Helen, don’t feel obliged, but I am going to give you the opportunity to say anything about this that you want to.” | 23 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Will the partnership that the BBC has built with YouTube be helpful in building the podcast sector and building audiences?” | 20 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “That is really interesting. Obviously this is Dino’s specialist subject, but I just wondered whether Patrick or Nigel had any thoughts on BBC support for the podcast sector.” | 28 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “David, I was very interested in what you said about bringing the broadcasters and the engineers and scientists together.

I am going to ask about your experience. I want to get into thinking about the importance of the BBC to the independent podcast sector. Can you talk to us about your experience of getting the BBC to e…” | 74 |

| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “You are all clear that you support a public purpose for innovation in tech. Is it necessary, then, to have a separate and additional public purpose on driving growth?” | 29 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “That is an important point, but it would still cost some money. Do you have any idea how much?” | 19 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Dylan, you have proposed a public service AI service called ChatBBC. What would that do and why do we need it?” | 21 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “So you see it initially focused very much on the BBC as a service, rather than being, potentially, a competitor to ChatGPT, Copilot or something else.” | 26 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “It has only been out for about five minutes.” | 9 |

| 23 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “It certainly sounds ambitious. Is it realistic for the BBC to resource it?” | 13 |
| 18 Jun 2026 | UK Artists Touring in Europe “I thank the Minister for that answer; there is some good news there.
