Foreign Secretary reassures MPs over BBCWS Burmese

   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.
