Welsh Lib Dem Assembly Member for Cardiff Central, Jenny Randerson AM has today called on Assembly Members from all party to sign up to her Statement of Opinion (Assembly EDM) calling on the BBC and Sky News to screen the Disasters Emergency Committee's Gaza Appeal.
Jenny Randerson said: "Broadcasters have a proud history of supporting charity appeals without damaging impartiality. There will be one effect and one effect only by these decisions, namely that less money will get through to people who are in desperate need of help."
"I hope AMs from all parties will sign up to this statement, whatever their views on the conflict in Gaza."
Notes that broadcasters have a long history of screening humanitarian appeals while maintaining impartiality on related conflicts
