FOREIGN AFFAIRS – BBC MONITORING SERVICE FUNDING - 27 March 2022

Dr Julian Lewis: Will the Foreign Secretary make sure that a reasonable proportion of the extra £4.1 million that the Government have rightly given to the BBC in respect of the World Service is earmarked for the BBC Monitoring service and, in particular, the Russian and Ukrainian parts of it?

[The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Elizabeth Truss): Yes, I will make sure that that is the case.]
