MPs were generally happy that the television coverage had been fair between the parties, although one MP complained that the smaller parties were being squeezed out of live coverage when the main television programme ended at 4 p.m., before their representatives could be called. On the other hand, an opposition front bencher believed that televising the House "had helped the small parties very considerably."
而議員諸公對兩黨報導的平衡，一般說來還算滿意，只是有些議員抱怨其他小黨幾乎給擠出了螢幕畫面。因為電視台的國會轉播節目通常在四點結束，而這時候兩大黨外的小黨議員根本還沒機會開口。
