HC Deb 09 April 1935 vol 300 cc965-6
27. Sir A. KNOX

asked the Postmaster-General by whom the general advisory council of the British Broadcasting Corporation was appointed, and what its functions will be?

Sir E. BENNETT

I understand that this advisory council has been appointed by the British Broadcasting Corporation, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 9 of their Charter, to advise them on matters of policy.

Sir A. KNOX

Does the hon. Gentleman realise that in this distinguished collection of bishops, schoolmasters and Socialists there is not a single person to cater for the wants of the ordinary man, who, after a hard day's work, wants some amusement and not instruction?
