§ 11. Lord BALNIELasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the annual cost of taking down broadcast messages fromm Moscow; and whether it is proposed to continue this practice?
§ Captain EDENThe estimated cost for the current year of recording the messages broadcast in English from Moscow is approximately £550. In the present circumstances, my Noble Friend does not consider this expenditure justified, and has decided to discontinue it as a regular practice.
§ Mr. R. A. TAYLORHave these translations been carried out by British nationals or by Russians?
§ Captain EDENI must have notice of that question.
