§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Minister of Information whether he will abstain from giving further broadcast publicity to speakers like Mr. Pollitt?
§ Mr. BrackenNo, Sir. The news value of a speech must be the factor which finally determines whether or not reference should be made to it, and I am therefore not prepared to require in advance that a news bulletin should not in any circumstances contain a reference to a speech by Mr. Pollitt or anyone else.
