It was . seconded by the Presbyterian director of broadcasting (the Rev. W. J Temple). “An appeal should be made, however, to the political parties, urging them not to make a political issue of the control of television,” said the Rev. J. S. Somerville. “It would be a serious thing if television should become a ‘political football’.’’
