John Nicolson (East Dunbartonshire) (SNP)
Talking about the BBC, rugby union is only one of many sports covered by the corporation with its editorial independence.

Mr Evennett
I was here listening to the debate yesterday, and I commend the excellent speeches of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and my hon. Friend the Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy.
