Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lord Mandelson (Labour), on Monday, 8 February 1993, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 118 members in total.


MR MICHAEL GREEN AND ITN

That this House, mindful of the statutory requirement of Independent Television News to maintain strict political independence and impartiality, views as unacceptable the appointment of Carlton TV's Michael Green, a declared supporter and donor to the Conservative Party, as ITN's next Chairman; calls upon ITN's ownership consortium to recognise the importance of keeping ITN's name free from party political taint; and urges them to nominate someone other than Mr Green as head of ITN's board.
