Early Day Motion 722
Free-to-air television coverage of the Six Nations
Tabled 29 January 2025 by Max Wilkinson
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.
