BBC World Service (No. 2)

EDM number 1130 in 1995-96, proposed by Peter Temple-Morris on 09/07/1996.

That this House notes with concern the proposed re-organisation of the BBC and in particular the potential impact on the World Service; recognises that the huge international following the World Service has built up is of great benefit to Britain's image abroad and has been achieved through the independence of the excellent programme makers at Bush House; further recognises that the World Service in English and the language services are inextricably linked; and calls on the BBC Chairman and Board of Governors to guarantee that the distinctive nature of World Service programming with its unrivalled reputation for impartiality will not be impaired by any organisational changes and that costs to the service will not rise as a result of them; urges them to continue to accord the World Service the highest priority in their deliberations, recognising that it is a jewel in the BBC's crown; and calls on the Government also to recognise the unique value of the World Service and to make proper financial provision for it.

This motion has been signed by a total of 243 MPs.
