HC Deb 15 October 1952 vol 505 cc180-1
16. Mr. Deedes

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is now in a position to announce the names of the Television Advisory Committee.

17. Mr. G. Longden

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General when he will announce the appointment of the members of the new Television Advisory Committee; and why it has taken nearly four months to act in this matter.

Mr. Gammans

It has necessarily taken time to reconstitute the Television Advisory Committee, but my noble Friend expects to make an announcement very shortly.

Sir W. Smithers

Will the Assistant Postmaster-General take the necessary steps to ensure that there are no fellow-travellers on this advisory committee and that they are all loyal subjects of Her Majesty the Queen?

Mr. Hobson

Will the hon. Gentleman consider altering the terms of reference of the Television Advisory Committee in view of the report of the Copyright Committee?

Mr. Gammans

If the hon. Gentleman will put down that Question I shall certainly give him an answer.
