Mr. Buchanasked the Postmaster-General if he will issue an instruction to the Independent Television Authority that they shall not send any announcement on an industrial matter, until they have checked that no dispute exists.
§ Mr. BennThe Television Act requires the Independent Television Authority to see that no advertisement is broadcast which has any relation to any industrial dispute. The Authority tells me that a recent advertisement which infringed this provision was broadcast under the mistaken impression that its purpose, like that of other advertisements broadcast in the past, was to tell employees at short notice of a change in shift arrangements.
