answer text <p>Our media should reflect the population as a whole. The government believes that broadcasters should be leading the way on improving diversity monitoring in support of this goal, including by voluntarily providing data across all of the equality strands to Ofcom.

Government will continue to work closely with Ofcom on this matter.</p> more like this
