Strict rules governing the televising of Parliament could soon be relaxed, the government has said.
Lords leader Baroness Amos said Parliament had to communicate better.

And she said its TV contract, due for renewal next year, was an "opportunity to look again at the rules to see if they are too narrowly drawn".

The Lords has been televised since 1983 and the Commons since 1989 but reaction shots, close-ups and behind-the-scenes footage are banned.

We can see more of our elected MPs heckling over each other as they discuss discipline in the classroom, and watch first hand how many actually turn up for those discussions of national importance!
