Tune in: Alistair Cooke Broadcasting on BBC World Service in 1932

EVEN THE WORLD SERVICE WON'T ESCAPE SCRUTINY

The? 未来 of the BBC World Service is hanging in the balance in one of the most 議論の的になる 発覚s in the quango 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる).?

The World Service began broadcasting in 1932 and around 188million tune in to programmes in 32 different languages every week.

During the 冷淡な War, it was one of the 主要な international 放送者s in the Soviet Union.

It is not 基金d by the licence 料金 but comes under the remit of the Foreign and 連邦/共和国 Office, receiving £272million 毎年 for its English-language services across the globe.

It has already started looking at how it can save money before it is ordered to do so by 大臣s. Its かかわり合い to broadcast 正規の/正選手 演劇 will 苦しむ, and there have been 報告(する)/憶測s that it is likely to 溝へはまらせる/不時着する its 週刊誌 BBC Proms programme and the tennis 最高潮の場面s it runs during Wimbledon fortnight.

Earlier this year Foreign 長官 William Hague told MPs the World Service played a ' 決定的な 役割 in our soft 力/強力にする' but that its 基金ing could not be 保証(人)d.

A Foreign Office 広報担当者 said: 'The Foreign 長官 has 繰り返して made (疑いを)晴らす the importance he 大(公)使館員s to both the British 会議 and the World Service.

He has also made (疑いを)晴らす the need for all parts of the FCO family, 含むing the 会議 and World Service, to 与える/捧げる to 成果/努力s to 上げる efficiency and 削減(する) public spending.'


However only four? -? the Film 産業 Training Board, the Construction and 技術s Training Board, the 工学 Construction 産業 Training Board and the こども Board? -? look 始める,決める to be privatised.

Many of the 廃止するd 団体/死体s' 機能(する)/行事s

will have to be taken over by 政府 departments, where staff could 簡単に be re-雇うd.

閣僚 大臣 Eric Pickles 主張するd yesterday that the 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる) 漏れるd to the BBC's Politics Show was 'a bit 時代遅れの'. He said: We did say we were going to 減ずる the number of quangos. We will be making an 告示 in 予定 course. It's a bit 時代遅れの, that 文書. I think things may have moved on.'

一方/合間, around 350 quangos appear to have been (死)刑の執行猶予(をする)d and critics are 懐疑的な about how much money will really be saved. Dozens 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる)d for the axe are (a)忠告の/(n)警報 団体/死体s which cost the taxpayer very lit tle.

右翼 Tory MPs will also be disappointed the 連合 is not planning more privatisations. Critics say Channel 4, the Met Office, British 水路s and the British Library should also be sold off.

The 漏れるd 閣僚 Office 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる) 含むs the Health 保護 機関, which 供給するs advice on 感染性の 病気s and 環境の hazards, and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology 当局, which 規制するs fertility clinics.

A その上の 129 団体/死体s will be 合併するd, while another 94? -? 含むing the BBC World Service? -? are still under 脅し.
