Today's "Christmas Repeal" launches Monday


The 2006 Today programme vote is to be The Christmas Repeal.

Μύ

This year the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 flagship news and current affairs programme's annual poll is asking listeners to suggest laws which they think should be scrapped.

Μύ

The search to find Britain's least useful or most damaging piece of legislation starts on Monday 11 Decembee.

Μύ

To enter the competition listeners are asked to send in ideas via bbc.co.uk/today or by writing to the programme at Room G630, TV Centre, Wood Lane, London W12 7RJ.

Μύ

On Wednesday 20 December a panel of politicians and legislation experts will get together to sift through the nominations and arrive at a shortlist of six.

Μύ

That shortlist will go to a vote and on New Year's Day the programme will announce the winning - or, more accurately, losing - law.

Μύ

Today Editor Ceri Thomas said: "As ever with these polls we hope to fuel debate. But who knows? Perhaps we'll end up with the views of Today listeners being discussed in the House of Commons?"

Μύ

Last year the programme asked its listeners to vote on the question Who runs Britain?

Μύ

The aim was to find the individual who listeners thought had most power in or over the nation. The majority went to Jose Manuel Barroso.

Μύ

In 2003, when listeners were asked to suggest a new law, 26,000 people voted to authorise homeowners to use any means to defend their homes from intruders.
