§ 67. Mr. Irvingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to ensure that the B.B.C. allot more time for the National Savings Movement.
§ The Assistant Postmaster-General (Mr. Hobson)I have been asked to reply. As my hon. Friend is aware, it is the policy of His Majesty's Government to allow the B.B.C. independence in the compilation of broadcast programmes. I am, however, glad to note that the Corporation are giving reasonable facilities for National Savings broadcasts and I am confident that they can be relied upon to continue to do so in the national interest.
