[cma-l] Broadcasting Programmes: Yorkshire and the Humber Department for Culture Media and Sport written question

[CMA-L]

*Julian Sturdy Conservative, York Outer 9th March 2015*
++
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps he
is taking to increase investment and training in television production in
Yorkshire.

*Edward Vaizey Minister of State (Department for Culture Media and Sport)*
++
As part of the Government programme of establishing *local television
services*, in the last year two stations have been issued with licences in
Leeds and Sheffield that not only broadcast across Yorkshire but also
provide career and training opportunities in TV. Screen Yorkshire, which
has been in existence for over 10 years, has also been at the forefront of
championing the film, TV, games and digital industries in Yorkshire. Some
examples of programmes what have been filmed in Yorkshire include:
Tyrannosaur, Death Comes to Pemberley, Peaky Blinders, Catch Me Deadly and
the new film version of Dad’s Army for release next year. Under Section 337
of the Communications Act, Ofcom requires broadcasters through licence
conditions to make arrangements for equal opportunities and training, and
to publish observations on this annually.
