Proceeding contribution from Baroness Jowell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill.

Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Bill

The hon. Gentleman has studied the matter over many years and makes an important point. We have to ensure, of course, that the BBC is in existence principally as a broadcaster and BBC support derives from public enthusiasm for programming, so we have to get the balance right. It is worth drawing the House’s attention to the fact that, as a result of growth in the number of households, the BBC secured increased income over this licence fee period of some £600 million.
