As an amendment to motion S7M-01962 in the name of Màiri McAllan (The BBC and Public Service Broadcasting in Scotland), leave out from "opposes" to end and insert "believes that the BBC has not adapted to long-term changes in media habits; notes that Ofcom weekly reach figures indicate that 58% of the population watch at least one BBC channel and that fewer than 50% of people aged under 25 watch any BBC channel over a full year; considers these figures to be evidence that the BBC’s current structure is out of date, and calls, therefore, on the UK Government to conduct a broader charter review of the BBC to ensure that it meets modern consumer demand, including consideration of options to abolish the TV license fee in the internet age."
