Proceeding contribution from Anne Begg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 May 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Electronic Communications.

Electronic Communications

I should like to pick up the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Inverclyde (David Cairns). The hon. Gentleman has said that he has spoken to independent producers who cannot get their programmes on the BBC because of unfair competition within the corporation. However, despite the quotas that the BBC already has, if more money is taken from the corporation there will be less chance of getting more independent production into the BBC. The hon. Gentleman is arguing against his own case.
