30 Jun 2026Culture, 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?

It is about the confidence you get as a young person being able to take part in that. Regional news is really important. How do we ensure that if anything happens in the future—I am not asking you to talk about things you can’t talk about—we protect regional news?

Martin, do you have anything to say on that?

Brilliant. Do you think that making sure that we get more diverse workforces—and in particular, for me, people from working-class backgrounds—is important and can lead people to have more trust, and place more value, in the BBC?

Fantastic. I know you said that we can imagine how a bootcamp works, but I think there are different kinds, so can you expand on that a little bit?
