§ 22. Mr. DAYasked the Postmaster-General whether any arrangement has been arrived at between the Government and the British Broadcasting Corporation following the recommendations by the May Committee on National Expenditure, by which they have agreed to forgo certain sums derived from their revenue for wireless licences for the current year; and whether he will give particulars?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Major Tryon)In agreement with my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the special contributions made voluntarily by the British Broadcasting Corporation in aid of the Exchequer were discontinued as from 30th June, 1935.
