BROADCASTING (AMERICAN PRESS QUOTATIONS).

HC Deb 09 October 1940 vol 365 cc374-5W

Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Information whether he will arrange with the British Broadcasting Corporation that quotations from the United States of America newspapers should not be almost confined to the "New York Times" but that similar treatment be given to influential newspapers printed in other large cities of that country?

Mr. Cooper

The B.B.C. draws freely, for both its home and overseas broadcasts, on quotations from the American Press as made available by the News Agencies; extracts have been given from all the more important newspapers.
