HC Deb 17 December 1969 vol 793 c362W
Mr. James Johnson

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications when he expects the Humberside British Broadcasting Corporation radio station to come on the air; and whether it will cover within its range Grimsby, Immingham and Scunthorpe.

Mr. Stonehouse

The B.B.C. expects to bring all 12 new local radio stations into service by the end of 1970. It is too early to be precise about the opening dates of the individual stations or the areas they will cover.
