Part of 2. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:04 pm on 11 October 2016.
As we are reviewing the charter, the BBC will be obliged to reflect the diverse communities of Wales and the other nations and regions of the UK. It will now have to set out how it will develop upon those new duties, including improving services for Wales. It’ll be required to report in detail on how it’s doing that. That is a new development and one that we believe will help to stem and, indeed, reverse the slow decline in English-language programming made in Wales.
