DEC GAZA CRISIS APPEAL

Early day motion 585, tabled 26 January 2009 by Richard Burden (Labour). Signed by 204 members.

That this House is astonished by the refusal of the BBC and Sky to broadcast the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Gaza Crisis Appeal; considers that the explanations given for this decision by BBC spokespersons are both unconvincing and incoherent; and draws attention to the fact that people wishing to obtain information about the Gaza appeal can contact the DEC by visiting www.dec.org.uk.
