Electoral Systems And BBC Radio News

EDM number 570 in 1990-91, proposed by Jeff Rooker on 06/03/1991.

That this House deplores the slipshod journalism of BBC Radio News, on 6th March at 7.10 am and 8.10 am, in reporting that the Labour Party is not looking at changes to the electoral system for the House of Commons when the system used for the House of Commons was added to the list of institutions being considered at the last Annual Conference in October 1990; notes that the error was repeated even after it had been pointed out; and takes this as a typical pro-Tory stance of the BBC.

This motion has been signed by a total of 2 MPs.
