§ 60. Mr. CHARLES EDWARDS (for Mr. W. BAKER)asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the British Broadcasting Company is able, after paying a dividend of 7½ per cent., to carry over nearly £80,000; whether he is aware that his predecessor agreed to the division of £2,000 of a previous surplus between the directors of the Broadcasting Company in addition to their normal fees; and whether he will give an assurance that no such bonus will be agreed to during the present year?
§ Viscount WOLMERThe answer to the first two parts of the hon. Member's question is in the affirmative. With regard to the last part, I understand that no such bonus has been suggested or is contemplated.
