Sir NAIRNE STEWART SANDEMAN
asked the Postmaster-General whether the new Chairman of the British Broadcasting Corporation has been appointed yet?
Mr. LEES-SMITH
No appointment has yet been made.
Sir N. STEWART SANDEMAN
May I ask when the right hon. Gentleman expects to make this appointment?
Mr. LEES-SMITH
I cannot give the exact date.
Sir N. STEWART SANDEMAN
Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of the great dissatisfaction caused by the semi-political stuff that is being broadcasted at present?
Mr. ALBERY
Will the right hon. Gentleman see that this appointment, when it is made, will be, so far as is possible, of a non-political nature?
Mr. LEES-SMITH
The hon. Member will have an answer to that when the appointment is made.
