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

Electronic Communications

I take it that support for racing is off the agenda if the hon. Gentleman has his way. Hon. Members are entitled to their views, but I happen to believe that the BBC gives good value. I well remember that, a few years ago, Opposition Members and others said that the BBC should not invest in online and new media services. However, today the BBC website is an important resource for people throughout the country, providing accurate information about activities and events in this place and beyond.
