Recommendation (the committee's words)
The sustainability duty reinforces what the Channel 4 Corporation is already doing. As such, the wording should reflect their primary functions and existing statutory duties to avoid there being any unintended consequences such as a conflict with their existing obligations. We recommend that the Government should review the wording of the sustainability duty to ensure that it is compatible with the Channel 4 Corporation’s existing obligations.
