§ 77. Mr. JOHNSTONasked the Postmaster-General whether he has any complaints from owners of wireless sets in Arbroath regarding difficulties of listening in to the programmes of the Dundee broadcasting station since the recent alterations in the wave length; whether he is satisfied with the working of the wave meter; and if inquiries will be made with a view to removing ground of complaint?
§ SirW. MITCHELL-THOMSONI have received no such complaints, but I have no doubt the British Broadcasting Corporation will be ready to investigate the matter if the complainants bring their difficulties to its notice.
§ Mr. JOHNSTONAre we to understand that the Postmaster-General is not responsible in this House for complaints against the British Broadcasting Corporation?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONNo. I have already told the House before the Charter was granted to the Broadcasting Corporation that the day to day working of the service is a matter for the Corporation and not for me.
§ Mr. JOHNSTONIs it not the case that the only place in which complaints can be ventilated is this House, and if the Postmaster-General declines to answer questions, what other redress have the public got?
