TODAY'S PROCEEDINGS
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
The Legislative Council met at 2.30 pjn. ■. ■
The Wanganui Harbour District and Empowering Bill was read the second time on the motion of the Hon. M. Connelly (Otago).
The second-reading debate on the,Broadcasting Amendment Bill was continued by the Hon. T. F. Doyle (Southland), who supported the principles of commercial broadcasting. The Hon. F. Waits had said members of the Government were too sensitive to criticism, Mr. Doyle said. That was not so. Members of the Government were not afraid-of criticism, but they did object to comments that could be regarded as hitting below the brft.
The. Hon. C. J. Carrington (Auckland) referred to the divided control brought about by Bill. Why was it necessary to divide the control of broadcasting in such a small country as New Zealand? he asked. Who was primarily responsible for the proposal, he.added, and who had asked for it? The reply to both questions, in his opinion, lay in the answer to the second. He believed the proposal had been asked for by the Controller of Commercial Broadcasting.
(Proceeding.)
