HC Deb 04 February 1953 vol 510 c1835
30. Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs which of the British Broadcasting Corporation's overseas transmissions are experiencing jamming; and in which cases are counter-jamming measures being taken.

Mr. Nutting

The B.B.C.'s Russian, Polish, Czechoslovak, Hungarian, Bulgarian and Roumanian services are being intensively jammed, the Finnish service rather less severely and the Albanian and Hebrew services considerably less severely. Anti-jamming measures are being taken in respect of all these services except the Albanian.

Mr. Davies

In view of the increased jamming which is taking place, and in view of the assurances previously given by the Joint Under-Secretary, can he give a further assurance that all the moneys required for effective jamming will be granted and that that will not in any way prejudice existing B.B.C. services?

Mr. Nutting

I think that that point was very properly and completely covered in the answer given on 2nd April last year, to which I have nothing to add.
