uin	142919
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2018 answer text <p>The final decision on location is a matter for Channel 4 alone, not the UK Government, and therefore I have not had any discussions with Channel 4. I warmly welcome the broadcaster’s agreement to move 300 staff out of London, rising over time. Channel 4 has launched a process in which cities and regions across the UK can pitch to become the home of the broadcaster’s new National HQ and creative hubs. As I stated recently, Glasgow has made an ambitious and creative pitch to be the new home of Channel 4, and I’m absolutely certain it would be the right choice.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale answering member printed David Mundell question first answered 17/05/2018 10:38:13 answering member 1512 label Biography information for David Mundell
