HC Deb 05 December 1969 vol 792 c395W
Mr. William Edwards

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications when he expects to sanction the establishment of a local radio station to give a local service to Mid and North Wales.

Mr. Pentland

As my hon. Friend knows the next stage of the development of local radio will consist of 20 stations including stations in Wales and Scotland. All 20 are to be in operation by the end of 1974, but I am not ready to announce their location yet.
