PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PUBLIC SERVICE TELEVISION FOR CHILDREN (13 December 2007)

Motion Details

That this House welcomes the recent reports from the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee and media regulator Ofcom which identify a threat to public service broadcasting for children; believes that public service television for children plays a hugely important role in contributing to the educational and cultural development of children; and therefore calls on the Government to ensure that UK children of all ages, races and faiths have a genuine choice of high quality, UK-made children's programmes that reflect the diversity of UK culture and children's lives in 2007, and are available on a choice of channels.
