Abolish Ban on Entertainment Shows using House of Commons Footage.

Petition Details

'no extracts of Parliamentary proceedings may be used in any light entertainment programme or in a programme of political satire'

This is a rule of coverage for Parliamentary footage that has existed since 1989. It is an infringement on both freedom of speech and press.

With the globalisation of media through the internet and social media, it is now foolish to assume that the electorate will be 'protected' from seeing satirical footage of Parliament.

Without a constitution, we MUST uphold individual freedoms in statute law. This can only be done by ridding of this futile and ineffective regulation.
