Debate between Jacob Rees-Mogg and Rehman Chishti

Thursday 5th September 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

The first half of that question referred to jokes, and the second half was wrong.

[Rehman Chishti (Gillingham and Rainham) (Con)]

Hospital Radio Medway has raised a real concern about hospital radio stations being able to get appropriate licensing from Ofcom, which is preventing patients from accessing radio in hospital. That cannot be right. May we have an urgent statement or debate on that?

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

Hospital radio is very important for cheering people up when they are in hospital, and actually it is a very good training ground for people starting a career in radio. I think that it is a more suitable topic for an Adjournment debate or a Westminster Hall debate, rather than taking time in the Chamber.
