Business question from Ian Murray (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 February 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Recent events in Egypt have demonstrated the importance of the BBC World Service and its interpretation of events. The cuts in the service that were announced recently mean that ““Voice of America”” will be the only real international broadcaster left. Will the Leader of the House allocate time for a serious debate on the future of the BBC World Service and how it can return to being the world's international broadcaster?
