HC Deb 04 April 1946 vol 421 c226W
Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he will arrange with the B. B. C. for works to be able to continue relaying music to their employees without payment to the Performing Rights Society.

Mr. Burke:

No, Sir Such an arrangement in peacetime would amount to an unjustifiable subsidy of private enterprise from public funds.
