Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Michael Fallon (Conservative), on Tuesday, 7 November 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 3 members in total.
LIVE MUSIC ON RADIO THREE
That this House deplores the proposal to end the broadcasting of live concerts on Radio Three outside the Prom season; believes that live concerts are an essential part of the BBC's musical remit; is concerned that ending the broadcasting of live music will reduce the choice of classical music available to listeners and could reduce the number of such concerts, especially in the regions; believes that it might also reduce the BBC's commissioning of new music and jeopardise the future of its orchestras and singers; reminds the BBC that its broadcasting policy should not be the plaything of particular controllers; strongly urges that its management undertake a proper consultation with its listeners and the classical music community before any final decisions are taken; and calls upon the BBC's governors to take this final opportunity before they make way for the trustees to make a stand against yet another example of the dumbing down of the BBC's cultural programming.
