HC Deb 30 October 1946 vol 428 c604
39. Mr. T. Reid

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if it is generally the practice in Colonies which have their own radio services to have loud speakers placed in public places for the distribution of news in the vernaculars.

Mr. Creech Jones

Yes, Sir. Arrangements for communal listening to news broadcast in vernaculars are already in operation in most of the Colonies which have their own broadcasting services.
