BBC Radio Solent

EDM number 1692 in 2010-12, proposed by Mike Hancock on 31/03/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Broadcasting.

That this House believes BBC Radio Solent is a much loved and valuable institution throughout the South of England; celebrates its unique role in providing news and information across Hampshire, Dorset and the Isleof Wight; is deeply concerned that the BBC is considering reducing local radio output; further believes that such a move would undermine local radio stations as a whole and if it were to happen would be a huge disservice to communities in the South of England and to the millions of visitors to the region who rely on the service; and calls on the BBC to maintain the current level of output from Radio Solent.

This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
