Government response to David Davies' review of free-to-air listed events

Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Ben Bradshaw said:

"I welcome this independent report, and would like to thank David Davies and the members of his panel for the detailed work they have done. 

“Sport is a key element in our national identity, part of the glue that binds us together as a society.  We want to ensure that everyone has access to the sports events that matter most to the nation, as well as a strong financial footing for our leading sports. 

“We intend to publish shortly a formal Government consultation on the report’s recommendations. Following the conclusion of the statutory 12 week consultation period, the Government will bring forward its final decisions."
