[comradio-l] Community radio cited in Lords debate

[CMA-L]

Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill
House of Lords debates, 12 January 2011, 8:29 pm

Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Labour)

I suggest that more work should be done using broadcast media. For
instance, in Edinburgh there is a wonderful local radio station -
Leith FM - where a lot of black and ethnic minority people produce the
programmes. There are programmes produced in different languages. I am
sure that in other areas-in Bradford or London, where there are lots
more groups and lots more people in these categories-there are more
radio stations that could be used. I hope that in his reply the
Minister will give some indication of whether more will be done using
broadcast media to get this message over in all the different
languages that are available. No doubt if my noble friend Lord Maxton
is motivated to contribute to this debate, he will tell us, as he
always does, about how new technology can be used to encourage people
to participate.
