Ministerial broadcast

In the United Kingdom, a Ministerial Broadcast (also known as a Prime Ministerial Broadcast or Ministerial Statement) is a televised address to the public, usually given by the incumbent Prime Minister or other senior Cabinet Minister in times of national crisis. The BBC and other public service broadcasters must give the government air time if the circumstances are seen to be of sufficient importance, and requests from opposition leaders must also be considered.
