The motion reads:
EDM 585
26.01.2009
DEC GAZA CRISIS APPEAL
That this House is astonished by the refusal of the BBC and Sky to broadcast the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Gaza Crisis Appeal; considers that the explanations given for this decision by BBC spokespersons are both unconvincing and incoherent; and draws attention to the fact that people wishing to obtain information about the Gaza appeal can contact the
DEC by visiting www.dec.org.uk
