answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2020 answer text <p>The Rugby Six Nations tournament has been a group B event on the listed events regime since 1998. As a group B event, live coverage may be provided by a subscription television service providing that delayed coverage or extended highlights are provided by a qualifying free to air channel.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government is clear that the existing list works well, and strikes the right balance between retaining free-to-air sports events for the public and allowing rights holders to negotiate agreements in the best interests of their sport. The Government therefore has no intention of undertaking a review of the list, or of moving the Six Nations from the category B list to the category A list.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 10/03/2020 16:45:55 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
