§ 30. Mr. Fowlerasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will now set up an inquiry into the need for an independent broadcasting council to hear complaints from the public.
§ Sir J. EdenNo. I do not think any separate inquiry is necessary.
§ Mr. FowlerDoes not my right hon. Friend agree that the public should have the right of appeal to a tribunal? If he will not set up an inquiry, will he at 1306 least confirm that the door is not closed to his re-examination of the case for a tribunal?
§ Sir J. EdenI was not announcing a decision on the merits of the case. I was merely saying that it is not necessary to have an inquiry to arrive at a decision.
