Annan: Preamble and Evidence

Jeremy Potter

Chapter 14 in Independent Television in Britain, 1989, pp 221-242 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract On 3 December 1969 the Labour government’s Minister of Posts and Telecommunications (John Stonehouse) informed the House of Commons that he had not reached any conclusion about a new Pilkington. But he thought it right to inform the House that he had been considering the prospects of some commission or committee of enquiry into the long-term future of broadcasting after 1976, because there would be ‘mammoth implications’ to be considered and it was important that those considerations should be borne in mind well before the expiry of the 1964 Television Act and the BBC Charter.
