PROPOSALS FOR BBC CHILDREN'S CHANNELS (EDM269)

PROPOSALS FOR BBC CHILDREN'S CHANNELS

EDM number 269 in 2000-01, proposed by John Grogan on 30/01/2001.

That this House welcomes the proposals from the BBC for two new digital children's channels, one for pre-school and one for older children, which should help meet the clear need for a distinctive, high quality alternative to commercial children's television; believes that children and their parents should have the option of choosing advertising-free programmes made in the UK for UK children; and urges the BBC to ensure that any new children's channels they launch, as well as introducing and developing basic skills, should encourage children to 'join in' and not simply 'turn on'.

This motion has been signed by a total of 84 MPs.
