§ Mr. Paul FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what is the current calculation of the amount of money that the BBC will reallocate to the regions and what percentage that will be of the present level of spending on network productions.
§ Mr. DorrellThe BBC last year published plans for a gradual reallocation of expenditure on network production to regions outside London and south east England. This will be worth an additional £75 million a year by 1997–98, and represents an increase of 48 per cent. over 1993-94 expenditure of £155 million.
