That this House, believing that at its best the BBC World Service is a beacon of hope and a voice of freedom for the oppressed, welcomes reports that its Director, Peter Horrocks, aspires to use some of the additional funding becoming available to broadcast to North Korea, and would strongly support the introduction of such a service so that the people who are victims of the repressive regime in that country can know that they are not forgotten; and is grateful that the representations of parliamentarians and the All Party Group on North Korea to the BBC have received such a positive response.
