§ 69. Sir N. Grattan-Doyleasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that undesirable programmes in English are being transmitted on a stolen wavelength; and what steps are being taken to rectify the matter?
§ The Assistant Postmaster-General (Sir Walter Womersley)Representations have been made to the Luxembourg Government on several occasions, both in regard to the broadcasting of advertisements in English from the Luxembourg wireless station and to the use by that station of a wavelength which has not been allotted to it by international agreement. These representations have not so far been successful. Further representations concerning the advertising programmes were made to the Luxembourg Government in December last; but no reply has yet been received.
§ Sir N. Grattan-DoyleMay I ask my hon. Friend what, in these circumstances, he proposes to do about it?
§ Sir W. WomersleyKeep on with the negotiations.
§ Mr. GrovesWill the hon. Gentleman recommend them to take their own bile beans which they advertise?
