HC Deb 28 July 1980 vol 989 c498W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received concerning the financing of the BBC.

Mr. Whitelaw

In recent months I have met a deputation of representatives of the unions at the BBC and members of the TUC economic committee. I have also received correspondence from a number of other sources, including the general advisory council of the BBC.
