The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has had discussions with the British Film Institute on the position of Education/Film Programmer, Adult Community.

Answered by Chris Bryant

No, ministers have not had any such discussions with the BFI. Staffing decisions within the BFI are operational matters for the organisation, which is responsible for ensuring its compliance with relevant equality legislation and its own equality, diversity and inclusion commitments. Likewise, matters relating to audience engagement and programming are the responsibility of the BFI.
