§ 35. Mr. DORANasked the Postmaster-General, if he will, under Clause 16, Sub- 1610 head IV, of the charter, authorise a firm of qualified and impartial accountants to examine the accounts of the British Broadcasting Corporation with a view to ascertaining and reporting how the Corporation utilises moneys derived from the sale of its publications, playing of gramophone records, and public concerts?
§ Sir K. WOODThe annual accounts of the British Broadcasting Corporation are audited by a firm of Chartered Accountants approved by me, as laid down in Clause 16 (1) of the Corporation's Charter. The accounts are then examined by the Comptroller and Accountant-General of the Post Office and are laid before Parliament. I do not consider it necessary to institute any further investigations.
