Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 October 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on UK Relations with Russia.

UK Relations with Russia

I thank my hon. Friend for that intervention, but I strongly disagree with him. Members of Parliament should watch carefully the overall direction that the BBC takes in its foreign coverage. It would obviously not be appropriate for us to interfere or intervene at a localised level, but we should all be concerned if the BBC is allowing the unmediated views of someone like Lavrov to be repeated at length.
