The Secretary of State meets regularly with the BBC to discuss a wide range of issues.
The Royal Charter places obligations on the BBC to observe high standards of openness and seek to maximise transparency and accountability. It also requires the BBC to report a range of information in its annual plan and its annual report and accounts, including how it ensures provision for the United Kingdom’s nations and regions.
The government launched the BBC Charter Review last year. The Green Paper set out our ambition for the BBC to tell a unifying national story that represents all communities across the UK, and to drive growth in the nations and regions. It also set out proposals for enhancing transparency in a way that supports wider public trust in the content and services the BBC delivers. We are looking at a range of options to deliver this, which include further obligations relating to programme making and spend outside of London.

Under the current Charter, Ofcom is required to set the BBC quotas for programme making in the regions and nations. Looking ahead, the Government is currently undertaking a review of the BBC’s Royal Charter. The Green Paper sets out our ambition for the BBC to tell a unifying national story that represents all communities across the UK, and to drive growth in the nations and regions. We are looking at a range of options to deliver this, which include further quotas or obligations relating to programme making, and the BBC moving more commissioning staff out of London.
That this House notes recent criticism of the BBC regarding a number of programmes aimed at younger viewers which appear to promote trans ideologies; further notes recent internal dossiers which claimed that the BBC is subject to what amounts to effective censorship by some specialist LGBT reporters who refuse to cover gender-critical stories; and calls on the Government to ensure that those who will be appointed to senior positions within the Corporation in the next few months tackle this issue so that families who wish to watch such programmes are not subjected to this type of bias in future.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with the BBC Board on the airing of the documentary entitled Gaza - How to survive a warzone.
It is essential that the BBC maintains the highest standards of reporting and governance that the public rightly expects. As set out her response to a recent Urgent Parliamentary Question, the Culture Secretary has spoken to the BBC Director General and expressed deep concern about the issues around their recent documentary on Gaza, and pressed for answers on the checks and due diligence that the BBC carried out. The Culture Secretary also subsequently discussed this matter with the BBC Chair where she sought assurances that no stone will be left unturned by the fact-finding review.
While she appreciates that the BBC apologised for its failings, and the BBC Board acknowledged that the mistakes were “significant and damaging”, it is vital that the BBC now takes action so that trust is restored and a serious error of this magnitude is not repeated.
Following requests, the BBC has provided the Secretary of State with further information on their approach to enhanced compliance procedures, and the Secretary of State will update Parliament in due course.

That this House notes the events that followed a children's television edition of Blue Peter where a suggestion was made by a Northern Ireland-born presenter that the innocent and perfectly legitimate symbol, the Red Hand of Ulster be one of a number of symbols to adorn an aircraft; and repudiates entirely the complaint to the BBC and reported statement from a professor of sociology at Strathclyde University who attempted to portray the Red Hand as a sectarian symbol ignoring the historic and non-contentious nature of the Red Hand which is worn on football, rugby, gaelic football and other sporting tops, is the centrepiece of many flags that have the loyalty of both sections of Northern Ireland Society and is widely recognized as the logo to represent either modern day Northern Ireland or ancient Ulster by people from both main communities.
