HC Deb 17 February 1930 vol 235 c922
47. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Prime Minister whether he is in a position to announce the name of the successor to Lord Clarendon as Chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation?

48. Mr. HARRIS

asked the Prime Minister when Lord Clarendon is to vacate the post of Chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation; whether his successor has been decided on; and, if so, what is his name?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Lees-Smith)

I have been asked to reply. I am not yet able to say when Lord Clarendon's successor as Chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation will take up office. A successor has not yet been appointed.

Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

Will the hon. Gentleman say what probable time will elapse before the appointment is made?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I cannot say that at the present moment.

Mr. HARRIS

Will the hon. Gentleman say whether any change is contemplated in the organisation of the British Broadcasting Corporation?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the question.
