Motion text

That this House recognises the important and unique role which children's radio can play in encouraging young people to think creatively in a way which television is unable to do, that in light of the BBC's decision to withdraw from primary schools radio, the need to supply high quality, creative radio to children is now even more important,that it is also important that a range of children's programmes should be broadcast at times when children can hear them; and calls on the Government to look into ways to encourge children's radio, at both the local and national level.
