- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 14 April 2026 to Question 123660 on Television: Internet, whether her Department’s definition of universal access to free-to-air television requires that households be able to receive television services without taking up a fixed broadband subscription.
- Answer
-
There is no single agreed definition of what it means for audiences to have universal access to free-to-air television, but – supported by the work of the Future of TV Distribution Stakeholder Forum in particular – the Government has been considering a number of important elements, including the availability, affordability and accessibility of the different methods by which audiences can receive television services at present and how these are likely to evolve in the future.
