Romford MP Andrew Rosindell said the BBC and other television companies should be encouraged to play the patriotic number more often in the year of the Queen’s platinum jubilee. The anthem is still played nightly on radio channels like Radio 4, and was previously played at the end of broadcast on television channels. But since the late 1990s BBC One has run the BBC News Channel overnight, while BBC Two plays repeats of daytime shows in the small hours. At culture questions today, Mr Rosenidell – sporting a Union Jack lapel badge – asked: ‘I know the minister will agree that the singing of the national anthem is something that provides great sense of unity and pride in our nation.’
