BEDTIME STORIES OF THE B.B.C.
Action By Government (Received April 25, 7.20 p.m.) LONDON, April 24.
There were cheers in the House Of Commons when the Director-General of the Ministry of Information, Mr. Nicolson, announced that the Government had asked the 8.8.0. to make its news broadcasts as factual as possible. “I am aware that for some time irritation has been caused if the news broadcasts are not wholly factual,” he said. “The Government is endeavouring to insure that the 8.8. C. tells bedtime stories at the right time—not in the middle of the news bulletins.”
