BROADCASTING OF BBC'S "TODAY IN PARLIAMENT"

EDM number 651 in 1993-94, proposed by Robin Corbett on 22/02/1994.

That this House is deeply concerned at the BBC's decision to cease broadcasting 'Today in Parliament' on Radio 4 FM from 28th March; believes this seriously questions its Charter obligation to broadcast 'an impartial account day by day' of proceedings in both Houses of the United Kingdom Parliament; and calls upon the Director-General of the BBC to immediately reverse this decision, which will deny an estimated 135,000 daily listeners to the programme access to it on FM.

This motion has been signed by a total of 112 MPs.
