HC Deb 14 April 1937 vol 322 c994
33. Mr. Day

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies in what manner the Colonial and/or Protectorate Governments assist financially towards the cost of broadcasting to the British Colonies and Protectorates, and what broadcasting services for Europe are at present being operated in their respective territories?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

With regard to the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by the Postmaster-General to the question by the Member for Willesden, West (Mr. Viant) on 12th April. With regard to the latter part of the question, no broadcast services designed for reception in Europe are operated in the Colonial Dependencies.

Mr. Day

Are any negotiations going on for the purpose of increasing the contribution?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

No, Sir.
