PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Children's Television (Broadcasting Bill) (7 December 1989)

Motion Details

That this House deplores the exclusion from the Broadcasting Bill of adequate measures to protect the future of children's television; is deeply concerned that there are no provisions to ensure that there will be original material specifically prepared for children, or controls on what is shown at particular times; fears that open competition is not enough to ensure proper standards, but rather will encourage programmes aimed at selling toys; and is concerned that already existing companies are cutting down on the commissioning of children's programmes, even before the new franchising system is introduced.
