Deregulation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 June 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Deregulation Bill.

In a moment.

Many of my constituents are on low incomes and in a deprived community, but they are happy to pay the licence fee because it guarantees something for everybody. For them, the sport on television, which would probably be commercially available elsewhere, is public service broadcasting; “EastEnders” is public service broadcasting. The quality that is brought by ordinary broadcasting to everyday lives is part of what people in my constituency believe to be public service broadcasting.
