BBC World Service And Politics UK Programme

EDM number 1398 in 2010-12, proposed by Robert Halfon on 02/02/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Broadcasting.

That this House regrets the decision of the BBC to remove the excellent programme Politics UK from the schedule of the BBC World Service in English from April 2011; notes with approval Politics UK's record of fostering a better understanding of British politics, the British Constitution and political culture throughout the world; doubts that daily news coverage can fulfil this role adequately; and calls on the Director General of the BBC to restore this programme to the schedule.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
