| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “In answer to a previous question, you mentioned the BBC working with several partners who have expertise to counter misinformation. What are you doing across Government to facilitate that, in conversations with other public service broadcasters?” | 36 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Absolutely. You mentioned media literacy. In a previous evidence session, the new director general said that that would be a good idea, so are you doing anything to facilitate that?” | 30 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Who enforces it? Will it be editorial or regulatory—so, Ofcom?” | 10 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “We did!” | 2 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “I want to go back to the subject of mis and disinformation. First, why did you want to add the word “accurate” to the impartial news and information phrase in the first public purpose?” | 34 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Is there anything with outside organisations? I think GCHQ was mentioned, and other partners such as that to tackle misinformation and disinformation.” | 22 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Yes, you cannot say that, Rupa.” | 6 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “So the regulatory barriers are being looked into.” | 8 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Where else do the Government see scope for more collaboration between the BBC and other PSBs? Is that being explored?” | 20 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “From YouTube to iPlayer, what is your view on whether Channel 4 content could be placed on the BBC iPlayer and for Channel 4 content still to earn revenue from advertising?” | 31 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Where there has been support for this in our evidence sessions, there has also been a little bit of kickback, because misinformation and disinformation are hard to define. Is there some work to do to create a legal definition, if you like, of those terms?” | 45 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Mine.” | 1 |
| 9 Jul 2026 | Business of the House “Historic buildings are a huge part of our national identity, yet restoration is harder than demolition. As the former manager of Leigh Spinners Mill—I am not sure I have mentioned that in this House before—I have seen the barriers that regeneration projects face at first hand. Given that more than 600,000 potential hom…” local-governmenteconomy-jobsenvironment | 88 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “How do you respond to the concern that the words misinformation and disinformation are themselves contested, and that a new purpose would and could create risks for the BBC?” | 29 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “It is chicken and egg, isn’t it?” | 7 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “This is the last question, you will be glad to hear. You have spoken about misinformation and disinformation throughout. As you said, they are very present in all our lives. Should the BBC have a new public purpose devoted to countering misinformation and disinformation?” | 44 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Going back a little to the evaluation, you have given me the stats and you have a really nice glossy document—” | 21 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Absolutely, but how else are you measuring what you are doing for audiences? I know—going back to trust issues—that people do trust their local news or their local radio station. How are you measuring that in order to know what you need to do more of?” | 46 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “That is interesting. So that collaboration obviously needs more exploration, in terms of how you do that.” | 17 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “I was pleased to see that the Government included a consultation question about public purpose to support economic growth. As someone who was born in Salford, in the very place where Media City is now, I see huge economic benefits in the regeneration project that that has created, but that is not so in terms of creativ…” | 88 |
