<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:9pt" lang="EN-US">A key output of the seminar will be a transcript of the proceedings, sent out within a week of the event to all attendees and a wider group of Ministers and officials at Ofcom, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and other agencies affected by the issues; and Parliamentarians with a special interest in these areas. It will also be made available more widely. This document will include transcripts of all speeches and questions and answers sessions from the day, along with access to PowerPoint presentations, speakers’ biographies, an attendee list, an agenda and sponsor information. It is made available subject to strict restrictions on public use, similar to those for Select Committee Uncorrected Evidence, and is intended to provide timely information for interested parties who are unable to attend on the day.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:9pt">The Westminster </span><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:9pt" lang="EN-US">Media Forum </span><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:9pt">is strictly impartial and cross-party, and draws on the considerable support it receives from within Parliament and government, and amongst the wider stakeholder community. The Forum has no policy agenda of its own. Forum events are frequently the platform for major policy statements from senior Ministers, regulators and other officials, opposition speakers and senior opinion-formers in industry and interest groups. Events regularly receive prominent coverage in the national and trade press.</span></p>
