Question
Further to WQ98551, will the Welsh Government commit to withdrawing public funds from any media organisations that are not politically neutral?
Answer
Answered by Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport (Heledd Fychan)
In ensuring impartiality, it is not for the Welsh Government to determine what constitutes deviation from political neutrality by a media organisation.
However, as stated previously, we expect all media outlets in receipt of Welsh Government funds to operate without distinct political bias.
