HC Deb 14 July 1925 vol 186 cc1072-3
61. Captain GARRO-JONES

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the British Broadcasting Company is producing a journal known as the Continental Radio Times; whether the terms of the agreement between the British Broadcasting Company and himself admit of the carrying on of a newspaper and publishing business; and what it is proposed should be done with the profits from this journal?

Viscount WOLMER

I understand that the British Broadcasting Company are arranging to issue a periodical, to be known as "The Radio Supplement," containing detailed programmes of foreign stations, which now appear in abbreviated form in "The Radio Times." The issue of such a periodical will not be contrary to the terms of the agreement between the company and the Post Office. The financial arrangements are being discussed between the company and the broadcasting organisations whose programmes will be published; and any net profit which may accrue to the company will fall to be dealt with as income under the general conditions of their licence.
