Commenting on reports the Department for Work and Pensions is negotiating with ITV about spending £400,000 on a TV programme fronted by Jeremy Kyle, Liberal Democrat Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, Don Foster said: "It’s a complete scandal that public funds are being wasted on commercial programmes that appear to be little more than political propaganda.
