Background p. 5 2. Government Intentions p. 9 3. Ofcom Functions in the Nations p.15 4. Issues facing Wales and Ofcom p.24 1 Wales and Ofcom Wales and Ofcom - Executive Summary This report was prepared at the request of Jenny Randerson AM, the Minister for Culture, Sport and the Welsh Language within the Welsh Assembly Government. The report considers the possible future role and functions of Ofcom in relation to Wales, and provides an assessment of issues of importance to Wales and Ofcom in light of the reform of the regulatory environment for broadcasting and telecommunications. The terms of reference and membership of the Advisory Group are outlined on page 4. The first chapter of the report provides an outline of current issues in relation to broadcasting and telecommunications in Wales. The chapter outlines Wales’ political culture and governmental arrangements, and draws attention to its unique bilingual identity and distinct cultural context. Media consumption patterns are distinct from those in England and Scotland, as are certain aspects of broadcast content. Attention is drawn to the particular problems associated with broadcast delivery in Wales as a result of topography and population dispersal, and the issues raised by this in terms of democratic accountability. There are also particular issues for Wales in terms of telecommunications infrastructure, and the roll out of digital broadcasting and advanced telecommunications.

  • Welsh Government's Response to the Consultation on the BBC Charter Review Introduction
    Welsh Government’s response to the consultation on the BBC Charter Review Introduction The Welsh Government welcomes the opportunity to respond to this public consultation on the BBC Charter Review. In recent months, Welsh Ministers and officials have liaised closely with the UK Government, to ensure that the Welsh Government is fully involved in the Charter Renewal discussions from the outset. We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the UK Government and the BBC, giving the Welsh Government a formal, consultative role in the Charter review, in full parity with arrangements in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The signatories are committed to working with the National Assembly, to develop a further Memorandum that will enshrine the Assembly’s ongoing role in the scrutiny and accountability of the BBC in Wales. Although the Welsh Government has a formal role in the Charter Review, we are pleased to take this opportunity, early on in that process, to set out our observations on a number of the key issues under consideration in the consultation document, in a Welsh context. Our responses to some questions will be more detailed than others; at this stage we intend to focus primarily on: the services which the BBC, as the leading Public Service Broadcaster in the UK, should be delivering for Wales; the need for it to be properly mandated and resourced to deliver them, and; the need to strengthen arrangements for accountability to, and scrutiny by, the nations and regions, including Wales. It is vital that the new Charter fully reflects the interests of the people of Wales and the current and changing devolved settlement.
