33 total sponsorsTabled

Motion Text

That this House recognises the unique place of the Six Nations Championship within the cultural life of each of the four nations of the UK; believes that, given the special national interest, free-to-air live television coverage of the Championship must be protected; notes with grave concern recent reports that rights for live coverage of the Championship may be sold and coverage put behind a paywall; and calls for the men’s and women’s Six Nations to be listed as Category A listed events under the Broadcasting Act 1996.
