HC Deb 28 June 1972 vol 839 c337W
14. Mr. Fowler

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will make a statement on the progress of his consideration of an independent broadcasting council to handle complaints from the public.

Sir J. Eden

As I said in reply to my hon. Friend on 19th April, I would not dismiss this idea out of hand; but such a council would affect many of the constitutional aspects of broadcasting and might better be considered in the context of a more general review.—[Vol. 835, c. 490.]
