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


Electronic Communications

I might be able to help the Secretary of State. The reason why the BBC is having such problems is that its remit has grown like Topsy, way beyond anything in the charter. It has to learn to cut its coat according to its cloth like everybody else. There is a limit to how much we can allow the BBC to expand, and it has gone beyond that limit.
