BBC Charter Review

Debate between Baroness Barran and Baroness Seccombe

Wednesday 22nd January 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Seccombe (Con)]

My Lords, does my noble friend agree that the BBC would benefit from showing international cricket matches, as we have a whole generation of young people who were denied that opportunity because their family did not have Sky TV?

[Baroness Barran]

This feels like a very popular suggestion to your Lordships. Sadly, I have to disappoint my noble friend. While I might agree personally, there are no current plans to show international matches.
