| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Do you have an active plan to grow that, to get it into more schools? Patricia it: As I said, moving it to be produced now by BBC News means that BBC News is supporting and promoting “Newsround” in a very different way than it did in the past, using its own news reporters, who have faces that are very well known, and l…” | 131 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “This report seems to show that public service broadcasting for kids is shrinking. ITV does not do it anymore. Channel 4 has not done it forever. Even in America, Trump has signed an executive order to stop public service broadcasting. That is “Sesame Street”. I know that you said that most things are associated with th…” | 135 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “So that boosts that figure of 3.5 million.” | 8 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Yes, it is very associated with the old school assembly. Even in my day they would wheel in the enormous television on legs.” | 23 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “We went to ITN and saw something similar. It has a small programme, because if it is too long, you lose people’s attention. That is made by ITN.” | 28 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “That is a constant, is it?” | 6 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “It is mysteriously elusive. We are trying to get it. It is notoriously elusive.” | 14 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Yes, across the corporation it is there, but not within children’s. But I am meant to be asking about “Newsround”. It is big in your report as one of the crown jewels, it is a trusted lifeline in a sector that is under pressure. How do you make sure that it remains relevant when there is so much other intense competiti…” | 63 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I would not find a Smiths video, the equivalent of that, on any of your shows now? As I say, these people used to appear on mainstream kiddie programmes and that has gone. Am I right?” | 36 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “There are some “Newsround” questions in a bit. Isn’t there a sense that the window for trying to persuade YouTube to achieve prominence without legislation passed is disappearing?” | 28 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I have been looking at your report, well done, a nice-looking report. You said that 72% of young viewers come to stuff via video sharing, and this says that you have four times more output on children’s TV than everything put together, not just the public service broadcasters. Do you think that voluntary will be good e…” | 57 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “My algorithm shows me 1980 bands and they are often on your shows. Can you see those any more?” | 19 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Out of interest, popular music, the bit I used to work in of your corporation, has that just disappeared from the children’s schedules?” | 23 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “With commercial terms as well?” | 5 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Exciting times with the charter review and the new DG, whoever that may be.” | 14 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “But the selection of the show. Do you know what I mean? You can never really detach yourself, as a social scientist.” | 22 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Just a yes or no answer, can you ever really be unbiased? Surely the selection of the stories of what goes in is demonstrating bias. I do not know if it is ever possible. The reason why Trump pulled out of “Sesame Street” is that he said that it was partisan, or public service broadcasting.” | 55 |
| 3 Mar 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I was interested in international.” | 5 |
| 2 Mar 2026 | Middle East “Door-knocking in Ealing yesterday, I met a student whose parents fled Iran in 1979, and who told me how overjoyed they are to get rid of this despotic, tyrannical regime. Yet the methods used surely risk undermining the rules-based order. A girls’ school was hit, with 150 kids killed; we appear to have normalised the b…” defenceenergy | 97 |
| 25 Feb 2026 | Diesel Vehicles: Defeat Devices “The hon. Gentleman makes such an excellent point as he always does. It is an honour to be intervened on by him. As he said, this was done with intent all over the British Isles, in all our nations. He mentioned the VW scandal. As I say, there could be worse round the corner. Despite the outlawing of these defeat device…” environmenthealthtransport | 1,416 |
