14 Apr 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

What is your view of the idea that the BBC has put forward for an enhanced tax relief for UK culturally relevant content?

Did you say 18 million?

Giles, TikTok has talked about helping teenagers engage with educational and informative content. Can you make an estimate of what proportion of the content on TikTok you could describe as that?

How can you quality assure that educational content? How do parents know it is decent content?

Is 35 not a bit high?

You talked earlier on about pointing users to iPlayer. I do not know if you know about the BBC initiative, “Other Side of the Story”.

You have both talked glowingly about the fund. Of the two interventions, would you say the YAC fund is more likely to stimulate production?

14 Apr 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Morning. Louise, you mentioned the young audiences content fund. I think both of you have called for some version of that fund to be reintroduced, and also for some kind of tax reliefs. Of the two, which intervention is likely to have the most impact?

14 Apr 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

How would you fund it?

14 Apr 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

You can give us ideas on how to fund it if you like.

What can TikTok do to promote that initiative, which helps young audiences develop critical thinking, identify misinformation and that kind of thing?

24 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339)

Just on that, if you do not mind, Chair, you are sounding a slight note of caution there. We have heard that Scotland is the leader in this field and that lots of people are saying that we need a UK strategy as well. You are talking about respecting the devolved nations, which is understandable. How do you think it cou

How could it cause problems for the Scottish strategy?

24 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339)

Continuing to talk about collaboration, what is your role in liaising with the Scottish Government and bringing the various inevitably siloed bits of Scottish Government together when you are dealing with event organisers?

24 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339)

How do you work with local authorities? Say Glasgow and Edinburgh wanted to go for the same event. What is your role in managing that?

25
24 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339)

You are nodding, Annie. Local government cost pressures must have an impact. How are they impacting the consistency of approach and the effectiveness of SAGs? Is it about frequency of meeting or other things? You are shaking your head, Annie. What are the other impacts on those cost pressures? Anne Marie Chebib: A lot

The people and the amount of time and commitment that they are able to give to it is one issue. What other issues are there with inconsistency across the country?

24 Mar 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1339)

This is a similar question to what I asked before. If you had a UK event strategy, what value could add to those individual cities? Because it seems that you are doing all the strategic support and co-ordination that they need. What would be the benefit of the UK strategy?
