Mr. Garro Jonesasked the Postmaster-General whether he is satisfied that, in the event of war, there would be sufficient alternative broadcasting stations to maintain a full national broadcast irrespective of the possible destruction of one or more stations; and whether he can give reasonable assurances that existing plans are adequate to prevent the jamming of this service?
§ Major TryonIt is not in the public interest to say what action His Majesty's 1693 Government intend to take in regard to the broadcasting service in the event of war; but I can assure the hon. Member that the matters to which he refers have not been overlooked.
