§ 24. Sir John Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement about his discussions with the Governors of the British Broadcasting Corporation about the "Panorama" programme entitled "Britain's Wasteland".
§ Mr. PriorI have written to the chairman of the baord of governors of the BBC to express my concern about this programme and its failure to take proper account of the more positive aspects of the Northern Ireland economy. I have made clear the disquiet the programme has caused among all those seeking to promote the welfare of Northern Ireland. I shall be considering what further action to take in the light of the response.
