Minutes:

Commissioners were updated about the recent suspension of GB News from the Senedd’s internal television system. The action had been taken by Officials at the request of the Llywydd after a recent broadcast by the channel that was deliberately offensive and demeaning to public debate and following the issue being raised during Commission Questions in plenary. 

Commissioners had been apprised of correspondence and discussed the position taken. The conclusion was that the GB News suspension would continue whilst the Commission seeks independent input to development of a protocol that will provide a framework for clarity and consistency on broadcasting content across the Senedd estate in the future.
