HC Deb 16 December 1968 vol 775 c300W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Postmaster-General if he will exercise his powers to direct all radio and television authorities to refrain from broadcasting cursing, swearing, and any reference to profanity and indecency in programmes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stonehouse

No. Responsibility for the content of their programmes rests with the Chairman and Governors of the B.B.C. and with the Chairman and Members of the I.T.A. I do not intervene.
