BROADCASTS TO OCCUPIED COUNTRIES (SCRIPTS)

HC Deb 03 August 1944 vol 402 c1641W

Miss Ward

asked the Minister of Information when he proposes to put copies of the broadcasts to occupied countries in the Library of the House.

Mr. Bracken

The scripts of all the B.B.C.'s broadcasts to occupied countries in Europe cover 1,800 sheets of foolscap daily. Providing copies for the Library of the House would consume 2½ tons of paper annually. Nevertheless, if there is a general demand for this vast collection of papers I shall, of course, be glad to meet the wishes of Members.
