An investigation of the central regions of the Galaxy has been made with an angular resolution of ~10 arcmin with the radio telescopes at Jodrell Bank using the spectral lines of HI (λ21 cm), OH (λ18 cm) and H2CO (λ6 cm). Observations of radio recombination lines in the range (λ21 to 125 cm) have also been taken. These data taken together provide information on the velocity field and gas distribution in the galactic centre region. A continuing programme of spectral line observations of the galactic centre is being pursued at Jodrell Bank.
