Overview 1 2. Background 7 3. The changing TV production landscape 14 4. Appraisal of the current regime and the Guidance 29 5. Review proposals 46 Annex A1. Responding to this consultation 65 A2. Ofcom’s consultation principles 68 A3. Consultation coversheet 69 A4. Consultation questions 70 Review of Regional TV Production and Programming Guidance 1. Overview Ofcom is reviewing the Regional Production and Programming Guidance (‘the Guidance’) 1 and associated reporting and compliance regime to ensure that the regulatory framework is effective in a rapidly evolving production landscape. Nations and regions’ production is a crucial part of the UK television production sector, accounting for almost half of public service broadcaster (‘PSB’) qualifying programme hours2 in 2017. TV production outside of London helps to disperse and stimulate investment and job opportunities in the sector, throughout the UK. This has resulted in the employment of a broad range of talent with a diversity of editorial perspectives, to create a wide variety of programmes for the enjoyment of UK viewers. This can also assist in strengthening regional production centres for the long term and supporting broader creative and cultural economies across the UK. To help promote nations and regions’ TV production, Ofcom has imposed quotas on the PSBs3 to ensure that a suitable proportion of their network programmes are made in the UK outside of the M25 (‘regional productions’). The BBC and Channel 3 services also have quotas to broadcast localised programmes, including regional news, across different areas of the UK (‘regional programming’), and a suitable proportion of these should be made in the local area.

  • Stapylton Final Version
    1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach.
