Broadcast Of The History Channel By Telewest (EDM498)

Broadcast Of The History Channel By Telewest

EDM number 498 in 1997-98, proposed by Gordon Marsden on 25/11/1997.

That this House notes with concern the decision by Telewest to drop The History Channel from its cable television areas; believes that this will deprive both academic and general interest viewers of an informative, educational television channel, in particular by denying GCSE and A level history students a valuable educational resource; and calls on Telewest to put The History Channel back on air.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
