HC Deb 21 September 1931 vol 256 c1263
23. Mr. THURTLE

asked the Postmaster-General the amount of money which is to be surrendered by the British Broadcasting Corporation to the Exchequer as a contribution to the national emergency?

Mr. WHITE

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer to similar questions last Thursday.

Mr. THURTLE

Can the hon. Member say whether it is by means of economies in salaries, or in what way, the British Broadcasting Corporation have been able to make this large saving?

Mr. WHITE

My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a very full statement in reply to a question last Thursday, and also dealt with several supplementary questions. I think that, if my hon. Friend will refer to the answers then given, he will see references to the question he has now put.
