Aud OMC DCMS panel

Article

In this panel debate, culture media and sport select committee chair John Whittingdale MP, former DCMS civil servant Jane Humphreys, Bill Bush of the Premier League and Sarah Davis from the Guardian Media Group discuss the purpose, role and inner workings of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Given that, since 2010, both DCMS and Whitehall more generally have kept largely the same shape while many public bodies and quangos have been reformed or axed, can the department expect radical changes during the next parliament?
