BBC Regional Television And Party Conferences

EDM number 2829 in 2010-12, proposed by Bob Russell on 06/03/2012.

That this House deplores the decision of the British Broadcasting Corporation not to send television crews and political journalists from regional stations to cover this year's party political conferences; believes that this reflects badly on management at the highest level of the BBC and is contrary to the principles of the BBC Charter; and calls on the BBC to reconsider this irrational decision.

This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
