§ 70. Major Wallasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that Cairo Radio is still broadcasting anti-British propaganda; and in what British territories these broadcasts can be heard.
§ 71. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to what extent Cairo Radio now broadcasts propaganda against Great Britain and her Allies and Commonwealth partners and against British rule in African territories; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Ian HarveyCairo Radio broadcasts about thirteen hours daily on the international high-frequency broadcasting band and can normally be heard all over Africa and the Middle East. Programmes for South-East Asia are also provided.
The tone of the broadcasts is hostile to this country and to the Western Allies generally; attacks are also made on other Arab States. Her Majesty's Government deplore these broadcasts which can only serve to increase tension in the Arab world and beyond.
