1. (1) Yes.
   1. (a) By (i) the Executive of the Coloured Persons Representative Council and (ii) the National Council of Women of South Africa.
   2. (b) The representations of (i) above are aimed at bringing about a further improvement in the salary structure of Coloured teachers in order to make the salary scales more attractive and thereby attracting more candidates to the teaching profession. The representations of (ii) above were for an inquiry into the financial basis on which provision is made for education, so that the principle of equal pay for equal work may be applied to the whole teaching profession.
2. (2) A memorandum has been received from the Executive of the Coloured Persons Representative Council and is receiving my attention.

1. (a) The administration of matters in respect of which the Broadcasting Act, 1936, assigned powers or duties to the State President and the Minister, and
2. (b) the activities connected with the compilation of Radio Regulations which the State President is authorized to issue by the Radio Act, 1952, the activities connected with the taking of legal steps against persons who contravene the Radio Act or Radio Regulations, and the administration of matters in respect of which the Postmaster General is assigned powers or duties by the Radio Act.

In elucidation, I mention that the matters named under (a) above, mainly comprise the following:

Powers of the State President

1. (a) The appointment and dismissal of members of the Control Board and the Bantu Programme Control Board of the South African Broadcasting Corporation, the designation of a chairman and vice-chairman of the Control Board and the determination of the salaries and allowances of the members of the board, and
2. (b) the granting of approval for the establishment of a television service by the Corporation.

Powers and duties of the Minister

1. (i) Laying on the table in Parliament of an explanation of the qualifications for the office of a member of the Control Board who is designated by the State President to be chairman, vice-chairman or acting chairman of the Control Board;
2. (ii) the addressing of a request to the Corporation to undertake programmes for reception outside the Republic and South-West Africa and the prescription of conditions in this regard;
3. (iii) the granting of approval to the Corporation to obtain or erect broadcasting stations outside the Republic and South-West Africa;
4. (iv) the approval of stocks or securities in which the Corporation may invest funds;
5. (v) the granting of approval that the expenditure of the Corporation in connection with the compilation or broadcasting of programmes for reception by Bantu persons, may exceed the amounts which are received by the Corporation in respect of listeners’ licences issued to Bantu persons and from any other source in connection with the broadcasting of such programmes;
6. (vi) the giving of a ruling in any dispute, if it is referred to him, which may arise between the Control Board and the Bantu Programme Control Board in connection with the performance of its activities by the Bantu Programme Control Board;
7. (vii) the prescription of the conditions of broadcasting licences which are issued to the Corporation in accordance with the Radio Act, and the granting of approval for the suspension or withdrawal of such licences;

10. (x) the granting of approval, and determining of conditions, for the expropriation by the Corporation of land for radio transmitters and access roads or rights of thoroughfare there;
11. (xi) the laying on the table in Parliament of a report which the Corporation must submit to him annually;

13. (xiii) the taking of legal steps against the Control Board if it appears to him that the Corporation has failed to comply with a provision of the Broadcasting Act or a condition of a licence issued to the Corporation.

As regards part (b) of my reply, I may mention that the powers and duties of the Postmaster General in terms of the Radio Act mainly comprise the following:

1. (i) the control of all radio activities in the Republic and South-West Africa, subject to the authority of the Minister and the provisions of the Broadcasting Act. Control of radio activities mainly comprises issuing licences to all kinds of radio stations (stations for radio communication as well as stations for broadcasting to the general public) and radio listeners, allocating and controlling radio frequencies and ensuring, by means of the Department’s inspection machinery, that the conditions of licences and certificates and the provisions of the Radio Act and Radio Regulations are complied with;
2. (ii) the establishment and operation, with the permission of the Minister, of radio transmission and receiving stations (here the radio stations used by the Post Office for communication purposes are concerned);
3. (iii) the take-over, management, control and operation on behalf of the Government, if so instructed by the Minister, of any radio station;
4. (iv) the issuing of licences and certificates, to persons approved by him, for the erection and operation of the different kinds of radio stations, the conduct of a radio dealer’s or repairer’s business or the maintenance of radio apparatus where the safety of lives in the air or at sea is concerned or the power of which exceeds certain limits, and the prescription of special conditions for a licence (except a broadcasting station licence issued to the South African Broadcasting Corporation) or certificate which he may deem necessary in one or other case. (The Broadcasting Act, however, compels the Postmaster General to issue to the South African Broadcasting Corporation the licences which are necessary for the implementation of the Corporation’s aims; the Radio Act also requires that a listeners licence be issued on the general prevailing conditions to anybody upon payment of the prescribed fees);
5. (v) the suspension or withdrawal, after proper investigation and after notice to the holder, of a licence (except a broadcasting station licence issued to the South African Broadcasting Corporation) or certificate if he is convinced that it is necessary or, in case of a listeners licence, that the holder has contravened a provision of the Radio Act or any regulation;
6. (vi) the transfer to the S.A.B.C., out of the Post Office Fund, of amounts equal to listeners’ licence fees and fines collected by the Department, minus compensation which is due to the Department for the collection and administration of listeners’ licences;
7. (vii) the authorization of officials to examine licences and certificates and the radio apparatus used by the holders; and
8. (viii) the authorization of persons to put into operation radio transmitters inside the Republic and South-West Africa or on board a ship or aircraft registered in the Republic or South-West Africa.

Teachers are not confined to one particular class and they may teach more than one class in a day, in either the morning or afternoon session. It is not possible, therefore, to allocate the number of teachers involved to the four groups concerned.
