UK MPs 'deeply troubled' by BBC World Service funding uncertainty

"Both government and the BBC should seriously think about how the World Service's influence can be bolstered around the world, rather than risk its reach withering by degrees year on year."

— Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown , Politician

"I struggle to think of anyone who doesn't nod along when I say the service is needed more than ever."

— Tim Davie , Executive

"As for the World Service, we are very clear: we think the Government should take back full funding, as it did for over 80 years."

— Tim Davie , Executive
