opportunities or threats - the new government agenda....

Culture, Olympics, media and sport

We will maintain the independence of the BBC, and give the National  
Audit Office full access to the BBC’s accounts to ensure transparency.

We will enable partnerships between local newspapers, radio and  
television stations to promote a strong and diverse local media  
industry.

we will consider using the part of the TV licence fee that is  
supporting the digital switchover to fund broadband in areas that the  
market alone will not reach.



Also:

We will examine the case for moving to a ‘gross profits tax’ system  
for the National Lottery, and reform the National Lottery so that more  
money goes into sport, the arts and heritage.

We will cut red tape to encourage the performance of more live music.
