Scientific paper

We present the results of a search, using HST/STIS, for broad line emission in the nuclei of a complete sample of nearby, low-luminosity radio galaxies. Our results show a flux limited detection of Broad Line Regions across the entire sample, suggesting that BLRs are present in the nuclei of all low luminosity radio galaxies. The detections are limited by flux alone, not by galaxy orientation, implying that an obscuring torus may not be a necessary component of the nuclei of these galaxies.
