HC Deb 19 December 1956 vol 562 cc184-5W
138. Sir R. Grimston

asked the Postmaster-General if he has now had a report from the British Broadcasting Corporation as regards the inquiry into allegations of bias which was announced by the Assistant Postmaster-General on 14th November.

Mr. Alport

The Chairman of the B.B.C. has assured me that the Governors have carried out a full inquiry into each of the allegations of bias made during the debate on 14th November. They have satisfied themselves that despite the peculiar difficulties of the period in question the allegations to the effect that the staff had acted with bias were groundless. He assures me further that vigilance in this matter has been and will continue to be exercised by the Governors.
