Miliband: Commons must rise to occasion over BSkyB bid

Ed Miliband MP, leader of the Labour party, calls on the Commons to rise to the occasion and put pressure on Rupert Murdoch to withdraw his company's BSkyB bid:

"There are times when the House of Commons has got to rise to the occasion and speak for the public.

"We have said that the purchase of BSkyB should not proceed until after criminal inquiries are complete.

"The simplest way to achieve this is for Rupert Murdoch to recognise the feelings of the public and the will of the House of Commons and withdraw this bid."
