Media Reporting Of The Gulf War

EDM number 394 in 1990-91, proposed by Nicholas Winterton on 31/01/1991.

That this House notes the increasing numbers of complaints which are being received by Right honourable and honourable Members from constituents who are rightly concerned by the approach taken by the BBC and ITV companies to the reporting of events in the Gulf; regrets that at times this reporting has been irresponsible, tedious and obsessive; and believes that the continual promotion of criticism of the international coalition's policy and military strategy provides succour to Saddam Hussein.

This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
