Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan writes to PM recommending Government drops plans to privatise Channel 4
The decision to take the broadcaster out of public ownership was announced under the tenure of her predecessor, Nadine Dorries, who led the move during Boris Johnson's premiership.
She added that its role in supporting the independent production sector "would be very disrupted by a sale at a time when growth and economic stability are our priorities". Channel 4 was created in 1982 by the Conservative government of Baroness Thatcher and is entirely funded by advertising, out of public ownership.
A spokesman for the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said: "We do not comment on speculation. The DCMS Secretary of State has been clear that we are looking again at the business case for the sale of Channel 4. We will announce more on our plans in due course."
