"I am delighted that after the long running campaign of the All Party Parliamentary Group on North Korea, which I co-chair in Parliament, the BBC has finally started broadcasting into North Korea. This has tremendous potential to inform the suffering people there of the different ways free societies function outside the prison walls which are the borders of North Korea.
