§ Ms Roseanna CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received about the BBC's Six o'clock News in Scotland; what response he has made; and if he will make a statement. [64455]
§ Mr. GalbraithTo date my right hon. Friend has received two letters about the BBC's decision on the Six O'Clock News. The replies will make clear that the decision taken about the news programmes was one for the Governors of the BBC to make. They will also say that we welcome the promise of additional financial resources and new jobs in Scotland, which will lead to an increase in programmes produced in Scotland.
