Culture minister endorses calls for daily dose of national anthem – but proposal is ridiculed online
Ministers have backed calls for God Save the
Queen to be played more frequently by the
BBC and other public broadcasters.
The culture minister, Chris Philp, told MPs the “more we hear the national anthem sung, frankly, the better” in response to a suggestion from a Conservative colleague for the Beeb to play it at the end of their programming for the day.
