HC Deb 29 March 1944 vol 398 cc1438-9
61. Lady Apsley

asked the Minister of Information whether there is any means by which British contributions to the news reels can be made available to Australia and New Zealand before they become out of date.

Mr. Bracken

We have been doing our best about this, and there has been much improvement. For several months past the most important British news reel items have been sent weekly by air to Australia and thence to New Zealand, and have been given priority all the way. Almost all the items sent in this way have appeared in the Australian and New Zealand news reels.

Viscountess Astor

Could the Minister send a news reel of Plymouth? It would be most inspirational.

Mr. Bracken

Everything that comes from Plymouth is most inspirational.
