Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 22 November 2022.
Leaked plans for communication with the public via the BBC during a power outage reveal that they depend upon the public having access to a radio. Do you know what proportion of Londoners have access to a battery powered radio?
The GLA does not hold information on the percentage of Londoners who have access to battery-powered radios. Radios can be accessed by a variety of different ways, for example through smart speakers, mobile phones, cars, and standalone radios. Ofcom's Technology Tracker provides data on the proportion of Londoners that have radios at home that are listened to (38 percent), but not specifically about whether they are battery powered.
