§ Mr. Masonasked the Postmaster-General if he will use his powers under Section 9 of the Television Act. 1954, and Section 15 of the Licence and Agreement of the British Broadcasting Corporation, to ensure that the operation of Electronic Random Numeral Indicator Equipment, the Premium Bond auto- 182W matic selection machine, shall be televised so that subscribers to this State lottery may be conversant with its operation and fairness.
§ Mr. Bevins:No. The use of my powers, as suggested by the hon. Member, would be inappropriate for the purpose which he has in mind. But I am examining, in consultation with my hon. Friend the Economic Secretary, the question whether anything should be done to supplement the pamphlet which is already available.
