HC Deb 22 February 1966 vol 725 c81W 81W

Mr. Woodhonse
asked the Postmaster-General whether he will require the Director-General of the British Broadcasting Corporation, under Section 14 of the Licence and Agreement, 1963, to include as fillers in television programmes films emphasising the importance of motorists obtaining instruction in first aid and carrying first-aid equipment in their vehicles, as a supplement to the fillers already in use to emphasise the importance of accident prevention.

§ Mr. Joseph Slater
No. My right hon. Friend has no powers to require either the B.B.C. or the I.T.A. to broadcast fillers.
