CHANNEL 4

Early day motion 477, tabled 22 January 2004 by Andrew Dismore (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House expresses great concern at the title of the Channel 4 documentary series, The Missing Chink, notes that while the aim of the programme to highlight the need for more Chinese role models especially in the arts and sport is laudable; believes that the title is blatantly offensive to the Chinese community in Britain, and is counterproductive to these aims; and therefore calls on Channel 4 to retitle or withdraw the series forthwith.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 4, DUP 2, Conservative 1.
