§ 33. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that wireless reception constitutes a national recreation and education subscribed to by the people, there will be any guarantee that the funds of the British Broadcasting Company will be reserved exclusively for the purpose of maintaining the efficiency of the service and the broadcasting movement?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI can add nothing to the statement made on the 14th July by my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General on the subject of broadcasting in the Debate on the Post Office Estimates. The arrangements to be made for regulating the finance of the new corporation are still under consideration.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINMay we take it there will be no raids on this surplus?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI cannot give any assurance in regard to that.
