CHILDREN'S BROADCASTING ON RADIO 4

EDM number 463 in 1997-98, proposed by Paul Burstow on 14/11/1997.

That this House regrets the decision of the BBC to cancel children's radio on Radio 4 from March 1998; believes that such children's broadcasting is a vital part of the BBC's public service remit and represents an important contribution to encouraging the creativity, imagination and reading skills of children; and calls on the BBC to reverse their decision.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
