Motion Text

That this House views with concern the unequal treatment and legal exclusion of United Christian Broadcasters and other religious bodies from owning a national radio licence; notes the opinion of David Pannick QC that the United Kingdom is in breach of Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights; and requests the Government to reconsider the relevant broadcasting laws and in particular to consider whether internationally available frequencies could be used to give the British public access to a UCB Christian music alternative.
