BRACERS Record Detail for 67337
To access the original letter, email the Russell Archives.
BR asserts that he did not "mean to suggest as a general principle" that he wanted all of his work for the Overseas Service to also be broadcast on the Home Service. He feels that the press "(not the BBC)" has treated Mrs. Knight unfairly, and understands that the BBC does not wish to "burn their fingers again by giving an opportunity to those who are not victims of superstition." BR would be willing to engage in a talk with Lord Hailsham on "religion and the young", though as to Gregson's suggestion for more discussions with Lord Samuel, BR is unavailable, "as I am very much occupied with international affairs."
