§ Mr. Storeyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information whether his attention has been called to the reports of pro-German news broadcasts from Mexican commercial stations; and whether any steps are being taken to ensure the circulation in that country of news collected and distributed through British channels?
§ Sir E. GriggMy Noble Friend is grateful to my hon. Friend for drawing attention to the reports and is causing inquiries to be made. As regards the second part of the question my hon. Friend will appreciate that the position in regard to Mexico presents special difficulties at the present time. But the daily short-wave transmission in the British Broadcasting Corporation Overseas Service, including the News Bulletin in Spanish directed to Latin-America and the News Bulletin in English, are, it is understood, received in Mexico, and other measures are under active consideration.
