BBC AND THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

Early day motion 643, tabled 14 January 2002 by Andrew Rosindell (Conservative). Signed by 96 members.

That this House notes that the National Anthem is no longer broadcast on BBC 1 at the end of each day's programming before the transition to News 24; believes that the broadcasting of the National Anthem at the end of BBC 1's programming is a proud tradition that should be restored; and calls on the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to do everything she can to encourage the BBC to reinstate this convention at the earliest opportunity.

Signatures by party: Conservative 72, Labour 9, Liberal Democrat 5, UUP 5, DUP 4, Independent 1.
