HC Deb 13 January 1992 vol 201 c462W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what considerations he took into account in his recommendations for the appointment of a new chairperson of the Broadcasting Council of Wales.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The chairmanship of the Broadcasting Council for Wales is one of the duties of the BBC national governor for Wales. In considering recommendations for new appointments to the board, people are sought from a variety of backgrounds whose personal qualities and experience will enable them to contribute to the successful operation of the BBC, and to represent the wider public interest including that of the relevant parts of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will place a copy in the Library of the correspondence between the 11 members of the Broadcasting Council of Wales and himself on Friday 13 December concerning the appointment of Dr. Gwyn Jones to be the next chairman of the BBC Broadcasting Council for Wales.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

I do not normally place copies of my correspondence in the Library and I see no reason to do so on this occasion.
