HC Deb 02 December 1965 vol 721 cc239-40W
76. Mr. Philip Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he made to the British Broadcasting Corporation about the film, "The War Game"; and if he will make a statement.

Sir F. Soskice

None. The British Broadcasting Corporation have made it clear that their decision not to show the film was not the result of outside pressure of any kind.

Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he made to the British Broadcasting Corporation concerning the Civil Defence film called "The War Game"; and why he exerted pressure to prevent its showing to the public.

Sir F. Soskice
