What do you mean by the financial benefit of privatisation? Channel 4's revenues have been growing and it has diversified its income streams eg pay TV streaming service app All4. It's possible they could be diversified further but adding shareholders who will need a return on their £1bn investment won't benefit Channel 4 financially.

This is a solution in search of a problem and will just waste valuable time in the Commons and Lords and likely go nowhere. Shouldn't the government be spending its limited legislative time on things like GDPR reform? Or has it run out of ideas and acknowledged there will be no bonfire of red tape?
