HC Deb 08 July 1936 vol 314 c1222W
Mr. SHORT

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the nature of the replies of the Italian Government to his representations concerning the broadcasts in Arabic from the Italian station at Bari?

Viscount CRANBORNE

In reply to representations made to them on this subject, the Italian Government indicated that they could not accept responsibility for broadcasts from Bari on the ground that this station was run by a private company; and that there was no preventive censorship of broadcasting in Italy. I understand, however, that they have enjoined greater caution in regard to the matter broadcast.
