Proceeding contribution from Michael Moore (Liberal Democrat) 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

I can tell the hon. Gentleman and the hon. Member for Carlisle (Mr. Martlew) that there is cross-party support for Border. None of us would want a split, with what we have now going either to Glasgow or further south to Manchester. However, apart from regional news coverage, which is split between Scotland and England and involves all sorts of technical achievements, one of Border’s great strengths has been its regional programming. A major concern is that regional programming will be increasingly marginalised as a result of this process.
