HC Deb 12 December 1977 vol 941 c65W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, as part of the allocation of wavelengths for radio programmes by the appropriate international body, there has been any reservation for a new series of broadcasts by an EEC radio unit.

Mr. Luard

No. If it were to start, the European Radio Service would use wavelengths already allocated to the countries taking part in the programmes.

Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what sums have been promised, allocated, or reserved by the Commission and Assembly of the EEC for a grant to a central editing and production radio unit to be established in London.

Mr. Luard

No sums have as yet been promised, allocated or reserved for this purpose.
