HC Deb 01 October 1941 vol 374 c605W
Sir G. Broadbridge

asked the Minister of Information whether he is aware that the observance of the Big Ben Dedicated Minute at 9 o'clock each evening is being kept in many countries, including Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and America; and will he take all possible action to enable this observance to become universal?

Mr. Thurtle

Yes, Sir, I am aware that this practice is widely observed, and I can assure my hon. Friend that the Ministry of Information will in the future, as in the past, give it suitable publicity.
