ITV Border Television
EDM number 2128 in 2006-07, proposed by Timothy Farron on 16/10/2007.
That this House notes with concern the proposal from ITV to cease transmitting Border Television and replace it with programming from Tyne-Tees based in Gateshead; notes that the economy in Cumbria could suffer a loss of £8.7m in gross value added (GVA) by 2010 if the proposed cuts go ahead and 88 jobs are lost from the Carlisle-based news service and that the GVA impact in the county could climb to £10.7m by 2015 and £13.1m by 2020; and urges ITV to reconsider the proposal.
This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
