BBC'S GRANDSTAND (EDM2036)

BBC'S GRANDSTAND

EDM number 2036 in 2005-06, proposed by Don Foster on 25/04/2006.

That this House is saddened by the BBC's decision to axe Grandstand, the longest running sports programme on television; recognises the changing broadcasting ecology in which this decision was made; notes the invaluable contribution to sporting coverage the programme has made in its 58 years on air; and calls on the BBC to ensure that this decision will not lead to a reduction in the quality or quantity of its sports coverage.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs.
