BBC Charter review
On 20 July 2004 the Secretary of States launched "What you said about the BBC", a paper which summarises the main points put to DCMS during the BBC Charter review consultation and in the accompanying programme of survey research.
A series of seminars being held by Lord Burns, the Secretary of State's independent advisor on Charter review began on 20 July 2004. To access a live webcast of the seminars please visit the the BBC Website. The BBC's activities are currently governed by a Royal Charter which sets out what it is for, what it does and how it does it. Since 1927, a review has been carried out every 10 years or so to see how the BBC is serving the public and to consider its future. This process is called the Charter Review.
The Charter Review process will be open, wide-ranging, with full public and industry consultation and with an appropriate parliamentary stage. It will bring together many strands of work including that by Ofcom and the BBC Online and BBC News Services Reviews. The consultation officially closed on 31 March 2004.
