URGENT APPEAL FOR MORE SIGNATORIES - PETITION CLOSES FEBRUARY 10
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE DEADLINE FEBRUARY 11
The reason for this urgency is the announcement of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee Inquiry into the World Service Cuts. The deadline for submissions is February 11. This campaign intends to make a submission on February 11 which will include this petition.
The inquiry was precipitated by the announcement on January 26 that World Service will make16% budget cuts along with staff cuts of 25%, around 650 staff. Around 30m listeners worldwide will be lost.
This announcement received worldwide media coverage.
On January 27 we delivered to Peter Horrocks (Director of the World Service) an OPEN LETTER signed by top British celebrities, including Dame Judi Dench.
On January 30, The Sunday Times (UK) published a favourable opinion piece about our campaign.
We now appeal for your help as this is the last chance before the petition closes.
Thanks in anticipation.
