§ Mr. Merlyn Reesasked the Postmaster-General if, in view of the successful experiments carried out two years ago, he will now allow the British Broadcasting Corporation to operate a local broadcasting station in the city of Leeds as a prototype for eventual development throughout the country.
§ Mr. BevinsNo. For the present, the Government's policy with regard to local sound broadcasting in general remains as stated in the two White Papers on the Report of the Committee on Broadcasting. I am, however, studying, with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Education the special question of the possible use of local sound broadcasting for educational purposes.
