The Committee on the Future of Broadcasting was appointed in July 1974 by the Home Secretary, Mr Roy Jenkins under the chairmanship of Lord Annan. The terms of reference of the Committee were: "To consider the future of broadcasting services in the United Kingdom, including the dissemination by wire of broadcast and other programmes and of television for public showing; to consider the implications for present or any recommended additional services of new techniques; and to propose what constitutional, organisational and financial arrangements and what conditions should apply to the conduct of all these services."
The Report of the Committee (Cmnd. 6753) was published on 24 March 1977. The series consists of copies of evidence submitted to the Committee and the Report which are open immediately, written and oral evidence, minutes, circulated papers and drafts of the report.
