DCMS announces Structural Reform Plan

Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced provisional details of the DCMS Structural Reform Plan, which will set out the department’s priorities from now until 2013.

Amongst the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s plans include a new Communications Bill – although not until 2012 at the earliest – and a reduced role for the regulating body Ofcom. Also included was the proposed launch of new local television stations in the summer of 2012, and the implementation of Europe’s leading universal and superfast broadband.

The government will also begin negotiating the terms of a new licence fee for the BBC, which is due to occur between July 2011-April 2012.
