BBC Scotland TV's reductions to services

That this House expresses concern that the BBC plans to close its Scotland linear TV station as part of cost saving measures; believes that moving the service to iPlayer will make it less accessible; notes with concern that the News at Seven programme will close; further believes the decision should be reversed as it will weaken democracy due to the reduction in accurate and timely reporting of Scottish current affairs; further notes with concern that this is another change to broadcasting in Scotland after Ofcom allowed STV North to close; and also believes that this is an alarming direction of travel which sees jobs lost and Scottish broadcasting diminished.
