A HEBRIDEAN MSP has fired back over claims from a senior BBC broadcaster that funding for Gaelic programmes is robbing the BBC “by stealth”.
Former Question Time presenter David Dimbleby has claimed politicians have “cajoled” and “forced” the BBC into funding national language channels in Wales and Scotland for “minorities who speak Welsh and Gaelic”.
Dimbleby made the comments in his recently published book, where he said that the BBC was having to take on “unfunded obligations”.
