Repeal the law that bans satirical use of parliamentary footage
The inability to use footage from Parliament for the purpose of 'comedy' or 'light entertainment' is an affront to free speech.
It is absurd that the UK portrays itself as a champion of free speech yet censors foreign programmes to uphold this law.
We call on the Government to repeal it.
