Proceeding contribution from Lord Sarwar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 February 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on STV.
STV
In our discussions with Channel 4, we found that it has set a target of increasing its spending on the independent sector in Scotland from 3% to 9%, but it has emphasised that it feels that only STV is currently able to provide the required quality of programming and expertise. Does the Minister recognise that it is a bit of a myth that STV would be the largest independent production company in Scotland if it were to get independent status, given that there are independent companies in Scotland that were previously owned by Warner Bros. and are now owned by Endemol—an independent-sector producer that is even larger than Channel 4?
