§ 45. Mr. Lewisasked the Prime Minister on what grounds he deems to be confidential the opinions supplied to the Coronation Commission by Her Majesty's Government on the televising of the Coronation ceremony; and if, in view of the public interest shown in this matter, he will lift the ban of secrecy.
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Winston Churchill)On obvious grounds of common sense and convenient practice, it would not be fitting that opinions expressed to the Coronation Commission should be made public.
I am informed that a further statement has been issued by the Earl Marshal this afternoon.
