Scotland does not support the changes that the SNP want to make to the BBC

The Issue

The SNP have stated that the "people of Scotland" want more Scottish content to programmes on the BBC. They want the BBC in Scotland to be answerable to the Scottish Parliament (the SNP), they want a Scottish 6 news programme replacing the BBC 6 O'clock news which covers world events from the perspective of the U.K. The SNP wrongly suggest that the majority of the license fee collected in Scotland is spent to the benefit of the rest of the U.K. This is the view of the SNP and is not the view of the majority of the people in Scotland. We would urge the BBC to resist these demands from the SNP as they are not the representative view. We would urge the BBC to continue to serve Scotland as it does now to ensure that we continue to receive the high quality and variety of programmes that we currently enjoy, including the UK 6 O'clock news.
