Business question from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 October 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Tomorrow sees the Second Reading of the Media Owners (Residency Requirement) Bill, which stands in my name. Unfortunately, it is listed as No. 62, so it is unlikely to make much progress. The Bill restricts ownership of any media outlet to those who are resident in this country and it demands that they pay full tax. Is this not a good Bill, which the Government should take forward?
