	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to level up TV production now that the Young Audience's Content Fund has ceased.
	tabling member printed	Baroness Benjamin
	uin	HL6594
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2022 answer text <p>HM Government is committed to ensuring that young listeners and viewers benefit from a system of public service broadcasting which remains relevant and which can continue to meet the needs of UK audiences in the future. That is why we are conducting a strategic review of public service broadcasting – drawing on the work of Ofcom, Select Committees in both Houses of Parliament, and the Government’s own expert PSB Advisory Panel – to work out how best to achieve this in light of the challenges the sector is currently facing.</p><p>The three-year pilot Young Audiences Content Fund was designed to test a new way of financing public service TV content. A full evaluation of the pilot Fund will take place following its conclusion to determine its impact on the children’s television industry and the provision and plurality of public service content for young audiences across the UK. The potential for further investment of public funding will be assessed against the Fund evaluation and alongside future public service broadcasting needs.</p><p>The Government is committed to the success of our world-leading TV production sector. UK-wide tax reliefs continue to play a vital role in driving production across children’s, animation, and high-end television, supporting approximately £2.2 billion production spending in these sectors through tax reliefs in 2019 alone. The Government continues to act to support the industry in developing the physical infrastructure and skills pipelines it needs to sustain success - success which has seen 2021 being a record-setting year, with total high-end TV production spend reaching more than £4 billion.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay grouped question UIN HL6592 HL6593 HL6595 HL6596 question first answered 16/03/2022 12:12:05 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2016 answer text <p>Our consistent focus has been on encouraging a comprehensive solution to the current migratory situation in Europe.

For those in genuine need, we are clear that protection in the region of origin is often the best solution and that those reaching the EU should claim asylum in the first Member State they enter (as per EU rules) rather than seeking to travel further across Europe to their destination of choice.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 10/03/2016 15:32:53 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
