Business question from Peter Soulsby (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 October 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The Leader of the House will be aware that the BBC's recent announcement about the future of its news-gathering services comes hot on the heels of ITV's proposals to slash its commitment to regional news, which includes doing away with a dedicated news service in the east midlands. May we have a debate on the future of radio and television news services, and may we also have an opportunity to press both providers to ensure that their news services are well resourced and able to provide adequate coverage in each of our regions?
