§ 13. Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Postmaster-General if he will give directions to the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Independent Television Authority to take joint steps to avoid the continued coincidence of almost identical programmes on both channels, in view of the fact that this practice is preventing a real choice of viewing.
§ Mr. StonehouseNo. The responsibility for the content of programmes rests with the Chairman and Governors of the B.B.C. and the Chairman and Members of the I.T.A.; and I do not intervene.
