§ 8. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will give particulars of the arrangement for daily broadcasts under Foreign Office auspices to Europe on the international situation; and to what extent these represent the official views of the Government?
§ Viscount CranborneThe hon. Member presumably refers to the British Official wireless which is compiled in the Foreign Office and is transmitted in the Morse code from General Post Office wireless telegraph stations. These stations have a range which is not confined to Europe. The news messages in these bulletins aim at presenting an objective daily survey of news in this country. So far as the views of the Government on international questions are concerned, these are expressed in these news messages only in so far as they are made available to the public through Ministerial speeches and in other ways.
