Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will guarantee an adequate level of funding for the S4C TV channel.

Answer

As part of our commitment to supporting the future of Welsh language broadcasting, the government announced in March 2018 that we will maintain S4C’s Exchequer funding at the current level of £6.762 million for 2018/19 and 2019/20. This is in addition to S4C’s funding from the licence fee which is guaranteed at £74.5 million until 2021/22.
