§ Dr. McDonaldasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will specify in the Official Report 351W the full details of the monitoring of community radio during the two years' experimental period; and if he will make it his policy to arrange for daily tapes from each community radio station to be subject to detailed analysis.
§ Mr. Giles ShawAs announced by my right hon. and learned Friend the then Home Secretary on 25 July 1985 at columns 670–671, arrangements are being made for the community radio experiment to be monitored by way of independent research studies of such matters as the nature of services provided by selected stations, audience reaction and the impact on existing broadcasting services. It is our intention to publish the results of this research. The transmissions of all the stations in the experiment will in addition be liable to be monitored by the Home Office at any time, but it is not envisaged that there will be any need for a detailed analysis of the full output of each station.
