Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 July 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The BBC Trust has moved quickly to address matters that are of significant public concern. We set it up to represent the interests of licence-fee payers and to ensure that the BBC provides high-quality output. It is a longstanding principle that the Government do not interfere in editorial decisions. We know that the BBC is taking action on the matter, and we support that. We will be looking to see what action is taken, but meanwhile we strongly support the BBC.
