HC Deb 10 November 1937 vol 328 c1761
33. Colonel Sandeman Allen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, with a view to preventing the possibility of anti-British propaganda among the East and Central African natives, he will consider the subsidisation of a more powerful broadcasting station at Nairobi with the object of disseminating British news?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

The Empire news broadcasts from Daventry are well received throughout East Africa and are considered adequate in present circumstances. The possibility of establishing and developing further local broadcasting services somewhere in East Africa is being examined by the various Governments concerned.
