HC Deb 23 February 1967 vol 741 c344W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Postmaster-General whether the City of Manchester's application to operate a local radio station has been approved; and if he will make a statement on the progress of his Department's consultations about the commencement of local broadcasting.

Mr. Edward Short
