HC Deb 17 October 1939 vol 352 c707W
Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information whether he is aware of the intensive German propaganda which is being carried on in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries; and whether broadcasts from this country will be arranged in Swedish, Finnish and other Scandinavian languages?

Sir E. Grigg

My Noble Friend is aware of the fact to which the hon. Member refers, but regrets that it is not possible for the present to add to the number of broadcasts in foreign languages already given by the B.B.C. The desirability of adding when possible to the 15 languages already used in broadcasting is fully recognised.
