HC Deb 06 June 1985 vol 80 c211W
41. Mr. Favell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received about the licensing of community radio.

Mr. Giles Shaw

Since the reply given to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Kingswood (Mr. Hayward) on 23 January at columns417–8, we have received about 400 letters on community radio, together with a broadly similar number of telephone inquiries. Most of the approaches have been from persons wishing to set up community radio stations.
