| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Thank you very much for that. It has been exciting to hear about employees on boards.

| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “On that point, it is about being with rather than going to, isn’t it?” | 14 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Very quickly, on working-class representation, sometimes it is all well and good moving where stuff is, but you still lack getting more people from working-class backgrounds involved.

| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “One of the things I worry about is online safety, particularly around younger people, and trusted news services. In using more AI, how do we protect people and protect the trustedness of the BBC?” | 34 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Matt, one thing you said that I thought was really good was about learning from mistakes, building on them and coming back better. Another thing that I thought was excellent was admitting there is a problem in terms of working-class representation. What more will the BBC do to make sure we address that? I think this go…” | 90 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “You may or may not be happy, but I am going to move on to technology and innovation.

| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “We were talking about board members. Do you have any plans to get more employees on the board? Would you support that?

| 8 Jul 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “I totally agree on the point about engagement with employees, but we all know that on the board there is a lot more information that is shared, quite often on a confidential basis. I am talking about making sure that there is that next level of engagement. Obviously you work out the numbers and who it is—I am not sugge…” | 95 |

| 30 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “It makes sense for me to ask my next question to Martin.

| 30 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “My first question is for Stephen and Magnus. What would consolidation between broadcasters mean for the future of the UK’s public service media?” | 23 |
| 30 Jun 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140) “Magnus, you talked about regional news. Even though I am a London MP, I was brought up in the north-west.
