HC Deb 30 June 1965 vol 715 c84W
11. Mr. Baker

asked the Postmaster-General if he will consider setting up a viewers' council, as also recommended in the recent report of the Church and Nation Committee of the Church of Scotland, a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Benn

The idea of a viewers' council was examined in detail by the Pilkington Committee, which rejected it. However, as my right hon. Friend the Lord President said in the broadcasting debate on 13th May, the Government are considering it afresh.
