§ 45. Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that the charter of the British Broadcasting Corporation expires at the end of this year and the desirability of enabling the corporation to make arrangements for future developments at the earliest possible date, he will arrange to issue, if possible before Easter, a White Paper indicating to what extent the Government intend to adopt these recommendations and to provide a definite and early date for a Debate on the matter?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on 19th March in reply to a question by the hon. Member for Shoreditch (Mr. Thurtle). It is not intended to announce the Government's proposals by issuing a White Paper.
§ Mr. DAYWill the right hon. Gentleman give the House an opportunity of discussing this in the near future?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI would welcome a discussion on the Post Office Vote, which will be a suitable occasion, and could be taken on an allotted Supply day.
