§ 39. Mr. HURDasked the Prime Minister if his attention has been called to the anti-British and anti-French propaganda which is being scattered over the globe in English by the German wireless Press service from Nauen; and what British wireless means are available to counteract this mischief making?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Three wireless messages containing British news are prepared daily by the News Department of the Foreign Office and sent from the General Post Office wireless station at Seafield. They are picked up and widely reproduced in most European countries and by ships at sea. The completion of the wireless station at Cairo will, it is hoped, enable these messages to be retransmitted and similarly used in the Far East.
§ Mr. HURDCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the wireless station at Cairo will be in operation?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI cannot say without notice, and I think that question had better be addressed to the Postmaster-General.
