HC Deb 11 November 1941 vol 374 cc2085-6W
Mr. Martin

asked the Minister of Information whether he can arrange for copies of all broadcasts made to enemy and occupied countries to be placed in the Library or, alternatively, to be sold to the public in a convenient form?

Mr. Bracken

No, Sir, these broadcasts cover some 175,000 words daily and I do not consider that the number of people who would read this considerable volume of material would justify its reproduction in full. I am not prepared to arrange for the routine supply of all this material to the Library; but the B.B.C. will supply the text of any particular broadcast to any Member on request.
