HC Deb 17 October 1939 vol 352 c707W
Sir H. Williams

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information when it is intended to resume the use of the studios at Broadcasting House for the purpose of broadcast entertainment so that further use may be made of the artistes who live in or near London?

Sir E. Grigg

The decision which studios should be used for the maintenance of the broadcasting service rests with the B.B.C. Necessary precautions against war-time risks at present prevent the use of the studios indicated in the question for the purpose suggested by my hon. Friend, and I am informed that it is not yet possible to say when they can again be made available.
