HC Deb 31 October 1956 vol 558 c1439
33. Mr. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the estimated cost of the damage suffered by the Rediffusion Company due to the action taken by the Maltese Government during the Suez crisis in August and September ; whether he is aware that the Maltese Government have refused to pay anything to make good this damage ; and how Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom now propose that the cost shall be met.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As I said in my reply on 24th October, no blame attaches to the Rediffusion Company. As the matter has now been settled between it and the Maltese Government to the satisfaction of both sides, I do not feel it would be helpful for me to comment further, nor is there a need for Her Majesty's Government to intervene.
