Motion Text

That this House notes with deep concern the allegations of Russian involvement in assassination attempts on UK soil, the illegal occupation of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, the human rights record of the Russian Government and especially the treatment of journalists, and the use of Russia Today as a propaganda outlet for the Russian Government; therefore calls on the Parliamentary authorities to remove Russia Today from the in-house broadcasting system; urges hon. Members not to undertake interviews for Russia Today; and calls on Ofcom to review Russia Today's UK broadcasting license.
