BBC Parliament is a British free-to-air public broadcast television channel from the BBC that showcases parliamentary content from across the United Kingdom. It broadcasts live and recorded coverage of the British Parliament (House of Commons, House of Lords and Select Committees), the Scottish Parliament, the London Assembly, the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Senedd. When none of these chambers are sitting, the channel does not broadcast, and its feed is given over to a simulcast of the BBC News channel.[1]
As of January 2022, the channel had a typical weekly peak of approximately 120,000 viewers, during Prime Minister's Questions,[2] representing a monthly reach of 5.41% of UK TV households and 0.06% overall share.[3]
