§ Mr. Fowlerasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications what recent representations he has received on the establishment of a broadcasting council; and what replies he has made.
§ Mr. ChatawayI have received 27 requests this year for a broadcasting council. I have replied that the B.B.C. Governors and the I.T.A. Members are appointed as trustees for the public and that there is not much attraction in the idea of appointing a further public body to oversee their activities.
