HC Deb 17 December 1985 vol 89 c130W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, following his answer of 9 December, if he will now take steps to keep detailed records of the outcome of contacts between the Broadcasting Department and the British Broadcasting Corporation and Independent Broadcasting Authority on the content and timetabling of programmes.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I see no necessity for such a record to be maintained.

Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the content or timetabling of any programmes broadcast or projected under the aegis of the British Broadcasting Corporation or Independent Broadcasting Authority have been altered as a result of contacts between those bodies and the Broadcasting Department in the last month.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I am not aware of any alterations.
