For<br>instance, in Edinburgh there is a wonderful local radio station -<br>Leith FM - where a lot of black and ethnic minority people produce the<br>programmes. There are programmes produced in different languages. I am<br>sure that in other areas-in Bradford or London, where there are lots<br>more groups and lots more people in these categories-there are more<br>radio stations that could be used. I hope
that in his reply the<br>Minister will give some indication of whether more will be done using<br>broadcast media to get this message over in all the different<br>languages that are available. No doubt if my noble friend Lord Maxton<br>is motivated to contribute to this debate, he will tell us, as he<br>always does, about how new technology can be used to encourage people<br>to participate.<br><br>Hansard source:<br><a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201011/ldhansrd/text/110112-0002.htm#11011293000009" target="_blank">http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201011/ldhansrd/text/110112-0002.htm#11011293000009</a><br><br>\\<br><br>Community Media Association<br>--<br><a href="http://www.commedia.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.commedia.org.uk/</a><br><a href="http://twitter.com/community_media" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/community_media</a><br>Facebook Fans: <a href="http://bit.ly/cog8n5"
