asked the Minister of Information the name of the official at the British Broadcasting Corporation in charge of the Turkish section; whether he can speak Turkish or has any Turkish contacts; what length of residence in Turkey has he had; and what are his qualifications for this post?

The choice of B.B.C. officials and the qualifications required of them are matters for the Corporation. I am informed that the official in charge of Turkish broadcasts has the necessary knowledge of both language and country, in addition to journalistic and broadcasting experience.
