Public Service Television For Children

EDM number 585 in 2007-08, proposed by Janet Anderson on 13/12/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Broadcasting and Children and families.

That this House welcomes the recent reports from the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee and media regulator Ofcom which identify a threat to public service broadcasting for children; believes that public service television for children plays a hugely important role in contributing to the educational and cultural development of children; and therefore calls on the Government to ensure that UK children of all ages, races and faiths have a genuine choice of high quality, UK-made children's programmes that reflect the diversity of UK culture and children's lives in 2007, and are available on a choice of channels.

This motion has been signed by a total of 121 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
