Channel 4’s ability to work with independent producers is a strength to be celebrated and maintained into its future, and is not at odds with private investment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 18/11/2021 12:18:59 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
