answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2022 answer text <p>Local Authorities have a statutory duty to allocate funding to youth services in line with local need. This is funded from the Local Government settlement, which was over £12 billion last year. DCMS are currently reviewing the guidance associated with the statutory duty.</p><p>Last year, DCMS conducted a Youth Review to ensure that our spending, policy and programmes meet the needs of young people. The review heard from over 6,000 young people and 120 youth organisations. Grounded in the findings from this review, the government has committed to a National Youth Guarantee: that by 2025 every young person will have access to regular clubs and activities, adventures away from home and volunteering opportunities. This will be supported by a three year £560 million investment in youth services, reflecting young people's priorities and addressing the inconsistencies in national youth spending, with a firm focus on levelling up.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 27/06/2022 16:08:24 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

question text	What assessment she has made of the impact of the potential privatisation of Channel 4 on jobs in the independent media production sector.

uin	904213
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2021 answer text <p>The government’s decision on the future of Channel 4, including its role with the independent production sector, will be informed by the responses to our recent consultation, which are still being analysed.</p><p>We are pleased that the UK’s independent production sector is flourishing and has become less reliant on income from PSBs over the years. Between 2008 and 2018, the contribution of PSB commissions to sector revenue fell from 64%-42%. But Channel 4 - and other PSBs - still has an important role to play in supporting independent production and the wider creative economy.</p><p>Whatever decision is made, it will not compromise the government’s commitment to this sector. 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
