HC Deb 19 March 1947 vol 435 cc395-6
33. Mr. House

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many broadcasts have been given over the British radio during Children's Hour this year under the auspices of the Ministry of Health; and if he will give the respective names of the speakers chosen.

Mr. Burke

None, Sir.

Mr. House

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the talk given on 25th February by Major Lewis Hastings was anti-Government and anti-Soviet?

Mr. Burke

I was asked in the Question how many broadcasts there have been under the auspices of the Ministry of Health, and I have answered it.

Major Guy Lloyd

Is it not a good thing that the B.B.C. sometimes speaks in the national interest?
