§ 38. Mr. BOOTHBYasked the Postmaster-General whether he will order the excision in future of all comments on foreign affairs in the programmes of the British Broadcasting Corporation?
§ Sir K. WOODThe matter of the scope of the programmes and the discretion of the directors of the British Broadcasting Corporation in relation thereto were recently considered by the House, and such a suggestion as my hon. Friend makes would not be in harmony with the resolution which was then approved by a large majority.
§ Mr. BOOTHBYDoes my right hon. Friend consider that it is in the national interest that Nazi propaganda should be conducted by officials of the British Broadcasting Corporation?
§ Sir K. WOODIf my hon. Friend will send me any information on that matter, I will gladly send it, with his comments, to the directors of the corporation.
§ Captain CUNNINGHAM-REIDDoes my right hon. Friend know whether any complaints have come from foreign countries recently?
§ Sir K. WOODI must have notice of that question.
