BBC Trust

The BBC Trust is seeking views on a proposed new policy for the allocation and timing of Party Political Broadcasts on the BBC.

Previously the Trust has approved temporary criteria for allocating Party Political Broadcasts (PPBs), but the new proposal from the BBC Executive is to put in place a policy that can be used from 2012 and in future years.

The BBC Trust will take the consultation responses into account and publish the results of this consultation on the Trust website together with the final policy, once approved by the Trust.
