HC Deb 18 July 1940 vol 363 cc416-7W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Information whether he is proposing to employ for broadcasting purposes the distinguished French journalists now in this country?

Mr. Nicolson

A number of distingushed French journalists are already broadcasting in French at frequent intervals. It is proposed to make a regular feature of such broadcast talks and to invite a wide variety of speakers. The House will understand that they usually prefer to remain anonymous since in many cases they have members of their families living in France.

Mr. Cocks

asked the Minister of Information what steps are being taken to inform the French people of the facts of their betrayal and to encourage them to take the appropriate steps against their betrayers?

Mr. Nicolson

All possible steps are being taken by broadcasting in French and other means to keep the French people informed of the facts of the situation and to hearten them for the future.
