PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
OFFICE OF COMMUNICATIONS (13 May 2002)

Motion Details

That this House believes that the Office of Communications should be responsible for regulating the whole of the media and communications industries; that there is no special case to be made for the BBC to be wholly or partly excluded from Ofcom; and that the Government should end this anomaly and establish a level playing field by bringing the BBC fully within Ofcom's remit, so as to leave the BBC governors with an important role, similar to the non-executive directors of other broadcasting organisations with public service obligations.
