Forty years on, independent production in the UK is now booming, with revenues having grown from £500 million in 1995 to £3 billion in 2019. Companies are increasingly less reliant on Public Service Broadcasters (PSBs), including Channel 4 for commissions.</p><p>Channel 4 still has an important part to play in supporting the sector and our wider creative economy. Channel 4 will still be required to commission a minimum volume of programming from independent producers, in line with the quotas placed on other PSBs.</p><p>Channel 4 has strong relationships with independent producers right across the UK and there is no reason this should change. The Government expects a new owner to want to build on and develop those relationships.</p><p>The Government believes that in the long run the UK production ecosystem will benefit from a more sustainable Channel 4. A change of ownership that improves Channel 4’s access to capital could increase spending on production.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 15/06/2022 09:46:10 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2022 answer text <p>As was set out in the Bill of Rights consultation, the UK remains fully committed to the international human rights treaties to which it is party.</p><p>The Bill of Rights will ensure those rights in the European Convention on Human Rights can be interpreted in the UK context, with respect for our legal traditions and the will of elected lawmakers.</p><p>The UK has two EU adequacy decisions, under the General Data Protection Regulation and the Law Enforcement Directive. As the European Commission itself has made clear, a third country is not required to have exactly the same rules as the EU in order to be considered adequate. Indeed, there are thirteen other countries which have EU adequacy, including Israel, Japan, New Zealand and Canada. All of these nations pursue independent and varied approaches to data protection and human rights.</p><p>The UK is firmly committed to maintaining high data protection standards and ensuring that rights and liberties are protected - this will not change. Our view is that reform of UK legislation on human rights is compatible with maintaining free flow of personal data from international partners.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 13/06/2022 12:06:42 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
