HC Deb 23 March 1965 vol 709 cc60-1W
115. Mr. Bessell

asked the Postmaster General whether, in view of the concern felt by parents regarding certain television programmes for children, he will introduce legislation to enable him to ban all horrific films at the hours of children's viewing.

Mr. Benn

No. Programmes are the responsibility of the broadcasting authorities. They are conscious of the need to exercise care in the choice of children's programmes.
