Hello Terry,
Thanks for your reply.
You may be right that it was only used for the Home Service, I was going by memory and it was a long time ago!
I have, though, found one reference to it being used for the Light Programme, assuming that by 'bells' they do mean Bow Bells!:

If you search for Light Programme, you will find this:
"The change of time of the opening of the Light Programme brought a number of letters regretting the omission of the bells on Sunday mornings and we were able to put a notice in "The Ringing World" pointing out that the bells had never been omitted but merely put on at an earlier time, in fact (as always) to open the programme. One or two suggestions were made by correspondents regarding this broadcast and the committee are considering them."
It may appear that Bow Bells were only used on Sundays but I'm not sure about that!
Regards,
Dave.
