§ Sir T. Mooreasked the Minister of Information whether he will give details regarding the operations of British broadcasting stations outside the British Isles?
§ Mr. NicolsonNational broadcasting services exist in all the Dominions and in India, and stations have been established in many of the larger Colonies. The development of broadcasting in the Colonial Empire is constantly under the consideration of the Colonial Office in consultation with the B.B.C., which maintains close liaison with all broadcasting organisations within the Empire. A shortwave overseas service is operated by the Australian Broadcasting Commission and transmissions from many other Dominion and Colonial stations are heard outside the territories in which they are situated. There is extensive rebroadcasting from all the British stations of news bulletins and other sections of the B.B.C.'s overseas programmes.
