HC Deb 27 March 1995 vol 257 cc476-7W
17. Mrs. Anne Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will make a statement on his future plans for broadcasts of educational value. [14195]

Mr. Dorrell

In our White Paper on the future of the BBC we said that the BBC should continue to broadcast educational programmes of all kinds. The Broadcasting Act 1990 includes a number of provisions to ensure that the other terrestrial broadcasters provide educational programmes, for schools, adult education and general consumption.
