9 Jun 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140)

Sometimes you can kind of do that by fixing the systems, in terms of how you manage to do that. If you are talking about trying to get more across the organisation, there could be a way of using trade unions and so forth to do it.
