§ 48. Mr. DAYasked the Prime Minister whether he will take an opportunity of consulting the leaders of the Opposition parties of this House for the purpose of considering the granting of facilities for having a sound-film made of a portion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's forthcoming Budget speech?
§ 63. Mr. McKINLAYasked the Postmaster-General if he proposes to make arrangements for broadcasting the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Budget statement on Budget day?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENFrom consultations which took place last year it appeared that the suggestion that the Budget Speech should be broadcast did not commend itself to any considerable section of the House, and my right hon. Friend is not aware of any change of circumstances or of opinion since then. He doubts whether the making of a sound film of part of the speech would be more acceptable than broadcasting.
§ Mr. LESLIE BOYCEDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think that it is far more important that the Budget should produce sound economy than a sound film?
