Threat To East Midlands Tv News
EDM number 650 in 2003-04, proposed by Alan Meale on 23/02/2004.
That this House is greatly concerned about recent speculation that ITV may shortly announce plans to close its Nottingham office and studio site and move their operations to Birmingham in the West Midlands; is alarmed that such a decision should be made without recourse to a full and proper consultation process; and believes such actions to be shortsighted and against the public interest as they would cause the loss of both valuable TV production skills and communicative opportunities in the East Midlands, which in turn would lead to a much more limited and inferior regional news and current affairs services for those people who live in that part of the country.
This motion has been signed by a total of 73 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
