FUNDING OF THE BBC

That this House notes the publication of the Third Report from the Culture, Media and Sport Committee on Funding of the BBC (HC 25-I); regrets its recommendation that the BBC should receive no extra funding for the development of its digital services; believes that the BBC is the only British broadcasting organisation capable of playing a major role in the emerging global multi-media market and should be funded to carry out the task; and urges the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to ensure that this happens by whatever means he believes necessary.
