HC Deb 01 April 1925 vol 182 c1339W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will allow the broadcasting of the proceedings of the model parliament organised at Oxford by the National Union of Students on 1st April, provided guarantees were forwarded that its general effect would be free from partisan bias?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

It is at present the practice to refuse permission for the broadcasting of political speeches, and as the speeches at the Oxford Union which it was desired to broadcast would be of a political character, the application was refused.
