PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
BBC RADIO FARMING OUTPUT (15 June 1997)
Motion Details
That this House is deeply concerned by reports that the BBC is considering changes to its farming programmes; pays particular tribute to the long-standing credibility of Radio 4's Farming Today; recognises the invaluable support and informative services which farming programmes generally provide for our rural communities and their representatives; and believes that they should be retained in their present slots.
