Tabled by Sir Peter Bottomley (Conservative) 1 signatures

The motion

leave out from `UK' to end and add `recognises that the BBC's World Service is rightly admired for its editorial independence; accepts that the occasional short notice content did not allow either third party alteration or non-transmission of programmes; and is confident that BBC World Service staff working in other countries, as in the UK, know they have full backing for the integrity and professionalism of their work.'.
