§ 13. Captain P. MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies which principal colonies or mandated territories possess at present broadcasting stations of their own or are considering plans for the erection of such stations; and what steps he is taking to assist such development?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERThere are local broadcasting or rediffusion services in Ceylon, Hong Kong, Kenya, Malaya, Mauritius, Fiji, Sierra Leone, Gold 1133 Coast, Gibraltar, Barbados and the Falk-land Islands; one is at present being set up in Palestine, and proposals for the setting up of stations are under consideration in the case of Nigeria, Malta, Jamaica, Trinidad, the Windward Islands. No assistance is necessary to secure the development of these important services other than the provision of the most up-to-date and expert advice which is always made available and of which I am glad to say full advantage is taken locally.
