Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that, under the curious rules we frame for ourselves, it is necessary to ask the Question in this form even if most of us do not want him to interfere in particular programmes? Is he further aware that many of us feel he has a duty to see that the authorities maintain their task in keeping a proper balance and that there are those of us who feel that the balance has not been kept by the broadcasting authorities? Will he keep a firm eye on the authorities to see that they carry out the duties which he quite rightly says are theirs?
