HC Deb 12 March 1973 vol 852 c235W
11. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications if he will seek powers to require the broadcasting authorities to supply transcripts of broadcasts to interested parties, on the payment of a reasonable fee.

Sir J. Eden

The IBA already supplies transcripts to those who ask for them. For the BBC with two television channels and four national radio services the position is more complicated, so it limits the supply to people responsibly involved in the subject dealt with in a programme.
