This is an operational matter for the BBC, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Nevertheless, since you started your petition the BBC has announced that Rule, Britannia! and Land of Hope and Glory will be sung at the Proms by a group of BBC singers: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5tFp5RpjZVLQmcqdx1ypVp2/update-on-last-night-of-the-proms.
