S4C: Public Appointments

Question

Whether she has had recent discussions with the Welsh Government and the independent television production sector on the appointment of a new Chair for S4C.

Answer

S4C appointments are made in compliance with the ‘The Broadcasting Act 1990’. The Chair is appointed by the DCMS Secretary of State.

The DCMS Concordat with the Welsh Assembly Government also reiterates that DCMS will consult with the Welsh Government on “Welsh appointments”’. The Welsh Government has been consulted periodically on the campaign and will be formally consulted on the final appointment decision.

The Department has engaged with representatives of the independent television production sector on this matter.
