Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 March 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on BBC White Paper.


BBC White Paper

The Secretary of State referred to a targeted assistance programme for the poorest people, in order to offset the cost of digital switchover. Does she believe that that is a welfare cost that should be picked up by central Government, or a broadcasting cost that should be picked up by the licence fee payer?
