  • Culture Minister Ben Bradshaw unveils Digital Britain report

    The BBC is set to be stripped of some of its television licence fee to fund local news provided by other organisations such as STV.

    Ben Bradshaw, the newly appointed Culture Secretary, revealed details of the proposal in a wide-ranging statement. Speaking to MPs on Tuesday, he said ministers would consult on sharing a "small element" of the licence fee with other providers after 2013 and, sooner, establish pilot projects in Scotland and elsewhere.
