§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he is now able to announce the name of the new Chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation; whether he will ensure that this person is not an active or formerly active professional politician; and whether he will ensure that such appointment will be announced in the House of Commons before the commencement of the Summer Recess.
§ Sir J. EdenThe answer to the first part of the Question is, "Not yet"; to 389W the second that the person Her Majesty will be recommended to appoint will be the most suitable available; to the third, that I shall certainly see that the announcement is made without unnecessary delay.
