HC Deb 28 July 1958 vol 592 cc90-1W
Mr. Body

asked the Postmaster-General how many Arabs, including those who have acquired British nationality, are regularly employed by the British Broadcasting Corporation for the purpose of giving news commentaries to the Middle East.

Mr. Marples

The British Broadcasting Corporation tells me that in the Arabic Service it employs 28 Arab staff—including those who have acquired British nationality—for the purpose of translating and broadcasting to the Arab world British Broadcasting Corporation news, news commentaries and supporting programmes.
