BBC Ceefax Service And Westminster

EDM number 895 in 1995-96, proposed by Harry Barnes on 16/05/1996.

That this House deeply regrets the decision of the BBC to abolish the parliamentary pages on its otherwise valuable Ceefax television news service; further notes the severe reduction in newspaper reporting of parliamentary affairs; believes that the people have a right to be informed of the initiatives and decisions of their public representatives; and calls upon the BBC to reinstate the Ceefax parliamentary pages forthwith.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
