HC Deb 09 April 1973 vol 854 c229W
Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications what discussions he has had with the Chairman of the Independent Broadcasting Authority about his proposal to establish an independent committee of inquiry into broadcasting.

Sir J. Eden

I am commissioning an independent study of coverage problems in certain parts of the United Kingdom, not an independent committee of inquiry into broadcasting as a whole. I have naturally had confidential discussions with the chairmen of both the BBC and the IBA about this study.
