§ 46. Sir George Broadbridgeasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider arranging for the immediate appointment of a Minister of Propaganda, experienced in journalism both at home and abroad, who can devote his whole time to this work?
§ Sir J. AndersonMy right hon. Friend the Prime Minister does not propose to adopt this suggestion.
§ Sir G. BroadbridgeIs it to be understood from that reply that my right hon. Friend is thoroughly satisfied with the way in which the British war effort is put forward in the United States of America and other countries?
§ Sir J. AndersonI have answered the Question on the Paper, and I cannot add to it.
§ Captain PluggeAre not the present Minister of Information and his Parliamentary Secretary experienced journalists both at home and abroad, and does not the trouble lie in the complete breakdown of our broadcasting system in the international broadcasting field which has 332 handed over to the Axis the monopoly of the Mediterranean and the Middle East so far as medium-wave broadcasting is concerned?
§ Sir J. AndersonThat goes far beyond the Question on the Paper.
