§ 26. Mr. W. Robertsasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to recent broadcasts from Bari; and whether he is satisfied that these broadcasts are in accordance with the terms of the Anglo-Italian Agreement?
§ Mr. ButlerMy Noble Friend is kept informed of the nature of the broadcasts from Bari. His Majesty's Government have not thought it desirable to address representations to the Italian Government about any recent broadcasts.
§ Mr. RobertsIs it not a fact that a recent broadcast from this station included a report of a rising in Trans jordania which was quite fictitious; and is it in keeping with the Anglo-Italian Agreement that these statements should be made?
§ Mr. ButlerI am ready to consider any representation with regard to the Italian broadcasts which may be made to me by the hon. Member. His Majesty's Government take into consideration all the reports which they receive of these broadcasts, and the answer I have just given is based upon such consideration.
