BBC Staffing

EDM number 584 in 2007-08, proposed by Austin Mitchell on 13/12/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Broadcasting, Employment and Media.

That this House notes with concern that in the week beginning 15th October 2007, the BBC Director General announced significant job cuts within the Corporation; further notes that the licence fee settlement, announced earlier in 2007, significantly restricted the Corporation's resources; considers that the BBC has already suffered job and budget cuts and that more job losses will mean compromising the quality of service; urges the BBC management to halt its plans and consult staff on decisions regarding the future direction and priorities of the Corporation; and reaffirms its commitment to maintaining the BBC's future as a world-class public service broadcaster.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
