Parliament 'should be on YouTube'

_44505763_parliament_bbc203.jpg According to the the BBC, footage of Parliament should be freely available for use online on sites like YouTube to help "reconnect with the public", Lib Dem MP Jo Swinson said.

The "ridiculous" downloading ban should end to help to bring Westminster "into the 21st Century", she added.

But Nick Harvey, a member of the House of Commons Commission, said the ban was in place to ensure that images could not be "manipulated at a future point".

Current rules allow live streaming but forbid direct downloading."
