HC Deb 24 June 1936 vol 313 cc1759-60
48. Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Postmaster-General whether he can give an assurance that an indication of the Government's intentions with regard to the Ullswater Committee on Broadcasting will be made known sufficiently in advance of the next debate on the subject to enable Members to have an opportunity of studying the proposals before such debate takes place; and whether the proposals will be issued in the form of a White Paper?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Major Tryon)

A memorandum stating the proposals of the Government with reference to the main recommendations of the Ullswater Committee on Broadcasting is being prepared. It will be presented in the form of a Command Paper, which will, I hope, be available in the Vote Office on Monday evening.

Captain MACDONALD

Will an opportunity be given to debate this White Paper before further steps are taken?

Major TRYON

Personally, I should welcome a debate.
