BBC RADIO 4 PROGRAMME 'WEEK IN WESTMINSTER'

Early day motion 458, tabled 13 November 1997 by Lord Tyler (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 55 members.

That this House is dismayed by the proposed rescheduling of the 'Week in Westminster' from 11.00 am on Saturdays to 8.30 pm on Thursday; believes that this change would cut the number of listeners by half and reduce the value of the programme as an over-view of the whole Parliamentary week; and urges the BBC to retain at its present time this programme, which has been until now a very highly regarded and popular feature amongst opinion formers for some 70 years.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 27, Labour 23, Conservative 4, Unknown 1.
