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

The BBC fulfils a different role; it is not a commercial broadcaster. It is there to provide content that the commercial sector would not provide. It is there to invest in new and emerging talent and to take risks on different types of content. It is there to provide local radio of a depth and quality that the commercial sector could never reach.
