HC Deb 13 July 1970 vol 803 c148W
Mr. Critchley

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will give consideration to taking steps to set up a Television Council, modelled on the Press Council, which would act as a court of last resort for the public.

Mr. Chataway

No. The Governors of the B.B.C. and the Members of the I.T.A. bear a responsibility to Parliament for programmes and there can therefore be no close analogy with the Press.
