UK Theme On BBC Radio Four

EDM number 1479 in 2005-06, proposed by Austin Mitchell on 25/01/2006.

That this House recognises the pleasure given to early rising listeners to BBC Radio Four by the subtle and evocative medley of British folk tunes in Fritz Spiegl's UK Theme which starts daily broadcasting and has become embedded over the years in the affections of listeners; and urges the BBC to reconsider its decision to drop this popular medley and to continue to use the UK Theme in the proud place is has occupied with such success and charm for so many years.

This motion has been signed by a total of 100 MPs.
