GARY LINEKER COMMENTS AND THE BBC

Early day motion 1939, tabled 18 December 2018 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 6 members.

That this House notes repeated political comments on social media regarding left wing protests and the call for a second referendum by well-known and highly paid football presenter Gary Lineker; acknowledges that BBC guidelines restrict other presenters from making politicised comments; and calls upon the BBC to review its position in order to attempt a restoration of public confidence in how presenters earning millions from the public purse can be seen to act impartially.

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