HC Deb 07 July 1964 vol 698 c56W
40. Mr. Mayhew

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that a recent Shakespeare quatercentenary broadcast of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by independent television was interrupted by an advertisement for toilet paper; and if he will amend the rules which he has made under the Television Act, 1963, with a view to raising the standards of television advertising and confining it to the beginning and end of programmes.

Mr. Bevins

I understand that there was such an advertisement in the middle of a group of advertisements during an interval in this programme. The answer to the second part of the question is No. Sir.
