HC Deb 25 March 1930 vol 237 cc279-80
87. Sir NAIRNE STEWART SANDEMAN

asked the Postmaster-General whether the new Chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation has been appointed yet?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

No appointment has yet been made.

Sir N. STEWART SANDEMAN

May I ask when the right hon. Gentleman expects to make this appointment?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I cannot give the exact date.

Sir N. STEWART SANDEMAN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of the great dissatisfaction caused by the semi-political stuff that is being broadcasted at present?

Mr. ALBERY

Will the right hon. Gentleman see that this appointment, when it is made, will be, so far as is possible, of a non-political nature?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

The hon. Member will have an answer to that when the appointment is made.
