HC Deb 31 July 1922 vol 157 cc1043-4W
Captain BENN

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will propose the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into and report to the House the arrangements to be made by the Postmaster-General for licensing broadcasting?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The appointment of a Select Committee would necessarily delay the arrangements which are being made for the provision of broadcasting services, and I have not seen any indication of a demand either from those who will provide the services or those who will use them for a Committee to consider the subject.
