British Foreign Secretary William Hague has issued a reassurance about
the future of BBC World Service broadcasts to Burma. He told the
Foreign Affairs Select Committee that the BBCWS could not expect to
escape the cost-cutting being imposed across Government and would not
rule out the possibility that some services would be lost. But he
insisted that targeting Burma would "not be a very good way of saving
money" and that the impact of a particular service on promoting human
rights would be a factor in identifying savings.
