The Value of Public Service Broadcasting to Scotland
- Submitted by: Angus Robertson, Edinburgh Central, Scottish National Party.
- Date lodged: Tuesday, 01 March 2022
- Motion reference: S6M-03420
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Thursday, 03 March 2022
That the Parliament believes that public service broadcasting has a valuable role in society and provides vital platforms for the creative economy and cultural richness of the nation; recognises that substantial progress has been made in the last decade in increasing the volume of screen production made in Scotland, and welcomes Screen Scotland’s actions to continue to attract productions; notes that broadcasters and producers like the BBC and STV have a vital role in the Scottish screen sector to help develop talent both on and off screen; condemns any efforts to undermine the BBC and Channel 4’s operational independence by the UK Government; calls for BBC Scotland to receive a far fairer share of licence fee revenues raised in Scotland, and further calls for the Scottish Parliament’s role in BBC Charter Renewal to be respected.
