Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-terrorism.
Counter-terrorism
The Prime Minister has referred several times to the need to combat the global jihadist Islamist ideology. In that context, will he have urgent discussions with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and ask it not only to reverse the reductions in the BBC's Arabic language services, but to implement an idea that has been talked about for quite a while—namely, to introduce a BBC Urdu channel to broadcast in Pakistan?
