§ Mr. BevinsThis is not a matter in which I have statutory powers, but the Authority tells me it is always ready to meet reasonable requests for programme scripts from hon. Members. It says, however, that it would not be in accordance with its practice to provide, as a regular feature, particulars of a programme series in the way suggested by the hon. Member. I am sure that if any hon. Member approaches either the Authority or the B.B.C. in regard to any particular script which interests him they will be made available.
