THE BBC should play God Save The Queen every day, say Tories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Andrew Rosindell MP told the Commons the anthem provides \u201ca great sense of unity and pride\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He said during the Platinum Jubilee the BBC should play it at the end of programming \u2014 at 1am or 2am depending on weekdays or weekends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries described the suggestion as \u201cfantastic\u201d.<\/p>\n

The BBC used to play the anthem every night but the tradition was scrapped in 1997.<\/p>\n

Culture minister Chris Philp backed the idea and other expressions of patriotism, including flying the Union Jack.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe more we hear the national anthem sung, frankly, the better.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cOrganisations like schools are free to promote it and the more we can do in this area, the better it\u2019ll be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
