56. Lieut. - Colonel Sir ARNOLD WILSONasked the Postmaster-General whether, when reviewing the charter of the British Broadcasting Corporation, he will include provisions to ensure that, in giving effect to the recommendation contained in paragraph 39 of the Report of the Committee on Broadcasting, members of the staff of the Corporation will not, directly or indirectly, be prevented or dissuaded by the board of governors or the director-general from having recourse to the courts of justice in any matters which concern them personally?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Major Tryon)Until I am in a position to announce the decisions of the Government on the report of the Ullswater Committee, I cannot suggest what provisions could properly be contained in any new charter.
§ Sir A. WILSONIs the Postmaster-General aware of the great importance that is attached to this question both in Broadcasting House and elsewhere?
§ Major TRYONI am aware that the matter is sub judice and, therefore, that I cannot comment upon it.
