HC Deb 16 July 1987 vol 119 c1312 5.18 pm
Mr. Chris Mullin (Sunderland, South)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I seek your help. I understand that the sound recording of the Home Secretary's reply to the first question and all subsequent exchanges were not forwarded to the BBC as is normal practice. Would you inquire how this came about and report back to the House? I understand this to be unusual, if not unprecedented.

Mr. Speaker

I will look into that, but I am not responsible for what the BBC transmits, thank goodness.

Mr. Mullin

Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. The House is responsible for feeding the sound downstairs to the BBC. Therefore, it is not a matter for the BBC.

Mr. Speaker

I will look into the matter.
