HC Deb 10 December 1985 vol 88 cc581-2W
Mr. Norman Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his policy and introductory time scale for the commencement of Greek-speaking and Afro-Caribbean community radio in London.

Mr. Giles Shaw

There have been over 180 applications from groups with a wide range of interests and ethnic backgrounds for the five experimental community radio licences available in London. The applications are now being considered by the Advisory panel on community Radio. We hope to announce the successful applicants in the New Year.
