§ 28. Mr. Woodsasked the Minister of Information whether, in view of the bulletins regularly emitted in morse by the National Liberation Movement in Greece, he will arrange for them to be monitored and to be reproduced in the "News Digest" as is done already in the case of the Free Yugoslavia Radio.
§ The Minister of Information (Mr. Brendan Bracken)No, Sir. For technical reasons it is difficult for the B.B.C. to pick up these broadcasts, and the Monitoring Department have not such a superfluity of staff that they can spare people to strain their ears for what is seldom audible.
§ Mr. Austin HopkinsonCannot all the necessary information be obtained daily from the "Daily Worker"?
§ Mr. WoodsIn view of the fact that there is so much obscurity as to what is happening in Greece, will not the Minister give instructions to his Department to make special efforts to get what reports can be received?
§ Mr. BrackenNo, Sir. The B.B.C., so far as I know, have not a reporter in Greece. We must rely on newspaper correspondents and various other sources of information.
§ Mr. GallacherWill the Minister take note of the tribute to the "Daily Worker," and the source from which it came, and not hold it against the paper?
