PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
POPPIES AND BBC WORLD (5 November 2001)
Motion Details
That this House is gravely concerned at the ruling by the BBC World TV channel not to allow its presenters to wear poppies as a mark of respect for all the British forces killed around the world in different conflicts; recognises the poppy as the international symbol of remembrance which equally applied to all religions; and calls upon the BBC to reverse this inexplicable ruling.
