PMQs: Osborne on BBC online and newspaper market
The Chancellor said the BBC had "got the balance right" over its online operations, and it was right to leave room for a flourishing private press.
George Osborne said the UK had a "great national public broadcaster in the BBC, but we don't a great public newspaper in the form of the BBC".
He was responding to Labour MP Judith Cummins, who called for a debate and vote by MPs on charter renewal.
