Trust statement in response to the Culture, Media and Sport Committee's Further Report on 麻豆社 Commercial Operations

The 麻豆社 Trust was established to give a stronger voice to licence fee payers and defend the 麻豆社's independence. 麻豆社 Worldwide operates within a framework set by the Charter and Agreement. It has no access to licence fee funding and operates at arm's length from the 麻豆社's public services.



The Trust oversees 麻豆社 Worldwide's strategy and controls. We are committed to ensuring licence fee payers get a good return on their investment, while being mindful of the 麻豆社's impact on the wider market, and to this end the Trust has been carrying out its own review of the 麻豆社's commercial services.

The Trust's own review was launched in advance of both the Committee's work and the Digital Britain report. In March the Trust published its interim conclusions, noting that there should be changes to 麻豆社 Worldwide's detailed control framework to establish a more contained focus for its operations. The Trust said that it would publish its final review once the role of 麻豆社 Worldwide in the Digital Britain discussions was clear.

Given this timetable we welcomed the Committee's report in April, cooperated with their enquiry and responded as fully as we were able to at the time of its publication.

In the meantime our work has continued on specific issues. The Trust last week announced changes to 麻豆社 Worldwide's governance which were reported to the Committee. These changes addressed a number of the issues to which the Committee's latest report refers.

Although the completion of our review of Worldwide has been delayed until there is greater clarity around the Digital Britain report, we are eager to complete this work and look forward to announcing further conclusions as soon as possible.
