Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport MP appears in front of
the CMS Committee for a regular accountability
session on the work of DCMS.
The hearing will be an opportunity for MPs to ask about the
department's priorities and recent developments in the arts,
media and sport sectors, as well as about the Government's
response to recent committee work.
There are likely to be questions touching on the department's
policy responsibilities affecting the creative industries,
including on artificial intelligence and copyright.
The Secretary of State, who will be accompanied by Permanent
Secretary Susannah Storey, could also face questions about the
future of public service broadcasting and BBC editorial
standards. On sport policy, the Committee could ask about funding
issues and the latest on the establishment of the Independent
Football Regulator.
The wide-ranging session may also touch upon issues relating to
youth services and charity regulation.
Tomorrow's session will be the Committee's second of the week,
following the meeting today on the
work of the BBC with Director-General Tim Davie and Chair Samir
Shah.
The Secretary of State last appeared before the
Committee in December.
