What discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on the ‘Future of TV Distribution’ stakeholder forum and the potential impact of its decision making on Wales.

I have regular discussions with Cabinet colleagues on a range of matters. The lead department on this matter, DCMS, established the Future of TV Distribution stakeholder forum which took views from a range of broadcasters active in Wales, including S4C, the BBC and ITV. The forum also benefitted from the perspectives of a number of groups representing the interests of Welsh and UK-wide audiences, such as Voice of the Listener and Viewer, Digital Poverty Alliance and Silver Voices. Before any decisions are made, including in relation to Wales, close consideration will be given to how any changes would impact audiences, and especially those who rely on digital terrestrial television as their primary means of watching television.
