Draft Media Bill – a call for evidence

The Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Committee has launched a call for evidence on the draft Media Bill, with a deadline for responses being 17 May 2023. Constant developments in the media landscape spearheaded by the growth of streaming and online services have left pre-existing media legislation playing catch-up. Published on 29 March 2023, the Bill aims to modernise broadcasting legislation and provide a more flexible regulatory environment to allow broadcasters to keep up with competitors.
