Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jim Dobbin (Labour and Co-operative Party), on Monday, 13 January 2014, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 6 members in total.
TELEVISION IN NORTH KOREA
That this House notes the suggestion that the broadcast of programmes like Teletubbies would change the attitudes of the North Korean dictatorship, which has incarcerated more than 200,000 of its citizens in gulags; and believes that the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs would be better advised to support an extension of BBC World Service programming to the Korean Peninsula, promoting Britain's cherished belief in democracy and human rights.
