Party Political Broadcasts
EDM number 668 in 1997-98, proposed by Roseanna Cunningham on 21/01/1998.
That this House condemns the proposal for the BBC and ITC to withdraw party political broadcasts outwith election periods; further condemns the process by which this recommendation has been made without reference to Parliament; calls for the continuation of party political broadcasts between elections; and suggests that broadcasters focus their discussions on finding additional ways of involving and educating viewers in politics and the political process rather than trying to abdicate their responsibility.
This motion has been signed by a total of 5 MPs.
