Media Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Crabb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 November 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Media Bill.

On that point about the growth of the radio sector, does my right hon. Friend agree that one of the real success stories of recent years is the emergence of a new generation of digital community stations to plug the gap of the local commercial stations that have become part of national groups and lost some of their local rootedness? Does he further agree that Ofcom should look at releasing more FM licences so that those new digital community stations can grow, especially in areas such as mine in west Wales, where take-up of digital radio is perhaps lower than elsewhere?
