HC Deb 27 April 1971 vol 816 c80W
57. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications if, in order to assist the deaf, he will require the broadcasting authorities to provide visual aids, such as an increased use of captions on television news and other televised programmes.

Mr. Chataway

Programme arrangements are the responsibility of the broadcasting authorities, and I have no power to impose such a requirement.
