§ 25. Mr. Edward Lyonsasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications what proposals he has for local radio facilities for the city of Bradford; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChatawayI have authorised the B.B.C. to continue with the 20 stations already operating or in an advanced state of preparation. This is without commitment for the longer term. These do not include Bradford. As for developments of local radio, I must ask the hon. Member to await the publication of the Government's White Paper early next year.
