§ Mr. James Hamiltonasked the Postmaster-General if he will make regulations to ensure that the British Broadcasting Corporation is afforded the opportunity to televise the England-Scotland football match at Wembley and stop the monopoly of independent television on this matter; if he will ensure that Scotland will as a whole see the game; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterNo. There are arrangements of long standing governing the showing of the broadcasting organisations of events of national importance. As to this event, I understand that both broadcasting organisations were invited to bid, and that Independent Television's bid was accepted.
