Management Of The BBC

EDM number 1543 in 1992-93, proposed by Tony Banks on 08/03/1993.

That this House expresses its concern at the complete public disregard being shown by the BBC's top management in making profound changes to the structure of the Corporation; expresses alarm at the statement by the Director-General of the BBC on 2nd February, that in respect of both resource provision and programme making he would only be concerned if the proportion provided by the BBC in-house fell below 50 per cent. of the total; deplores the likely 6,000 redundancies that will result from such policies; and calls upon the BBC to stop pre-empting the public debate on the Corporation's future and to suspend the introduction of the policy of producer choice.

This motion has been signed by a total of 74 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
