More than 100 MPs have signed an early day motion criticising the BBC and Sky News for refusing to show an emergency appeal for Gaza.
Terrestrial broadcasters ITV, Channel 4 and Five showed the televised appeal, made by the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), on Monday night.
The refusal of the BBC and Sky News led to protests outside Broadcasting House where demonstrators burned their television licences and occupied the buildings reception until they were removed by police.

Richard Burden, the Labour MP who tabled the motion, said 112 MPs had signed it by Monday night.
The motion rejects the "unconvincing and incoherent" justifications given by the BBC and Sky.
"The fact that well over 100 MPs from different parties have signed this Commons motion shows the breadth of concern about the position which the BBC and Sky are taking," Mr Burden said.
