Motion Text

That this House congratulates the BBC and BBC Worldwide on their agreement to include listings for BBC Parliament in the Radio Times; notes that BBC Parliament is Europe's first parliamentary channel to broadcast around the clock and since its launch in 1998 has enjoyed an average monthly audience of 800,000; recognises the important role of BBC Parliament in making politics accessible and open to the public; and hopes that this latest decision will lead further in this direction.
