HC Deb 21 March 1933 vol 276 c189
40. Mr. MANDER

asked the First Commissioner of Works if he will consider the advisability of installing a wireless receiving set in one of the committee rooms of the House, in order that Members may have the opportunity of hearing broadcast inter-imperial or international statements of policy from time to time?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)

The hon. Member's suggestion was carefully considered three years ago, but was strongly opposed by practically all sections of the House. So far as I am aware the position has not altered since, and I see great difficulties in carrying out the hon. Member's wishes.
