§ Mr. Martinasked the Minister of Information whether he will request the directors of the British Broadcasting Corporation to see that in broadcasts on questions of national importance, especially in connection with the conduct of the war, uniformity in statistics and factual information is observed?
§ Mr. NicolsonThe B.B.C. does not allow important information relating to the conduct of the war to be broadcast without the previous approval of the Government Department concerned. If discrepancies have recently occurred they are not the fault of the B.B.C. which is merely a mouthpiece in such matters.
