HC Deb 27 November 1987 vol 123 c368W
Mr. Wallace

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he intends to meet the chairman of the BBC to discuss the future of radio broadcasting in Scotland.

Mr. Renton

My right hon. Friend has no immediate plans to do so. Our Green Paper "Radio: Choices and Opportunities" suggested that, while there was scope for the development of additional radio services, there was a good case for the continued provision of national regional and local public service broadcasting by the BBC, although it would be for the BBC itself to judge how best to use the resources available to it.
