I don't know, but it seems (unless that Hansard record was falsified) that
certain MPs were displeased about the delay involved in its transmission
over BBC World Service's satelite channels. I must say, I could see some
of their point.

Having already made moves to shred the Magna Carta, they're clearly working
to change the laws of physics as well.

No, not really AIUI they were just complaining that the laws of physics
made the blips sound at the wrong time, thus impugning the BBC's
reputation for accuracy. They didn't demand that C be increased for
Auntie; IIRC one suggestion was to, if it couldn't be remedied, leave
them out altogether for the channels with the problem. Which is
unusually reasonable, for that lot.
