MPs are set to debate years of in the Midlands in a special debate in Parliament tomorrow.
Politicians from the have vowed to hold the state broadcaster to task over investment levels in the region being far lower than the rest of the 海角视频.
While the Midlands accounts for more than a quarter of the BBC鈥檚 licence fee income, the broadcaster of its spending.
City MP Richard Burden said while the BBC had announced it was , it still requires a fundamental shift for investment levels to match the rest of the 海角视频.
In 2014, each 拢145.50 licence fee-payer in this region saw just 拢12.40 returned to the Midlands, compared to 拢757 in London.
Mr Burden (Lab Northfield) said: 鈥淭he debate next Tuesday will give the chance to MPs in the West Midlands and East Midlands to raise the inequality of funding. It will help raise the profile of this in Parliament.鈥
He added: 鈥淚 don鈥檛 have a problem with the HR thing 鈥 the more jobs the BBC creates at the Mailbox the better 鈥 but the key thing is that local spend.
鈥淭hat is only going to improve with sufficient commissioning taking place, and there is an awful lot further to go.
鈥淭ony Hall has been better than some of the others on this matter but there is a lot longer to go, as your campaign has shown.鈥
Industry and community leaders have criticised the BBC after only 拢80 million was invested in the Midlands last year, compared to 拢942 million raised through licence fees.
The BBC has responded by shifting largely HR jobs to the Mailbox, but Mr Burden believes that is not enough.
The Westminster Hall debate takes place at 4.30pm on Tuesday after being called by Mark Spencer, Conservative MP for Sherwood in Nottinghamshire.
The Post is campaigning for half of the money raised in licence fees to be re-invested in the Midlands.
Mr Spencer has been a vocal critic of present investment levels, previously telling the Post: 鈥淐learly, we have been short-changed.鈥
Meanwhile, Mr Burden welcomed new culture, media and sport select committee chair Jesse Norman.
Mr Norman (Con Hereford South) emerged victorious from a five-man ballot, having previously pledged to give concerns over Midland investment levels a 鈥減roper hearing鈥.
Mr Burden said: 鈥淚f Jesse Norman has raised this point then that is good. I think this is something the DCMS select committee will want to look at.
鈥淐harter renewal is coming up and they are certainly going to want to have something to say about that.
鈥淐ertainly we want to see something done about whether different regions get a fair crack of the whip.鈥
In all, about 300 jobs will shift to the Mailbox, after the broadcaster recently announced it was 鈥渋nsourcing鈥 100 HR positions.
A BBC spokesperson said 78 per cent of people in the Midlands say they approve of the BBC.
