Mary Glindon
Shadow Minister (Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) (Farming and Rural Communities)
What steps her Department is taking to increase sports coverage on free-to-air television.
Nigel Adams
Minister of State
The listed events regime strikes a balance between retaining free-to-air sporting events for the public while allowing rights holders to negotiate agreements in the best interests of their sport.
To give equal recognition to disabled and women’s sports, the government is currently consulting on the addition of the Paralympics and certain women’s events to the listed events regime. However, the government does not have any plans to carry out a full review of the list.
