INDEPENDENT RADIO PRODUCTION

That this House notes that only around 10 per cent. of BBC's radio output this year will be made by independent producers; notes that there is no statutory duty on the BBC to use independent radio producers whereas such a statutory duty does cover its television output; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to give substance to its stated aim that the licence fee should be the venture capital for Britain's creative industries by introducing a statutory quota in the Communications Bill that requires the BBC to spend at least 10 per cent. of its radio programming budget on programmes made outside the Corporation.
