24. Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what representations he has received concerning Channel 4; and if he will make a statement. [46336]

I have received no such representations. Channel Four is a central element in the Government's vision for the broadcasting industry in the digital future. We expect it to continue to play a vital role in providing distinctive and innovative public service programming of high quality.
