Captain R. Adamsasked the Minister of Information if he is aware that in the B.B.C. broadcast of "Today in Parliament," given on 6th February, six minutes were devoted to an account of the dried egg shortage and six minutes to the National Insurance Bill; and whether this provided a balanced review of the day's proceedings in Parliament.
§ Mr. WilsonIn the absence abroad of my right hon. Friend, I have been asked to reply. The B.B.C. considered that six-minutes devoted to the topic of food supplies was not excessive in relation to the public interest in this question at the present time. They will continue to give the National Insurance Bill full treatment within the limits of the available space as it goes through Parliament.
