HC Deb 15 October 1941 vol 374 cc1377-8W
Mr. Woodburn

asked the Minister of Information whether his attention has been called to the work done at Leith in collecting hundreds of old wireless sets. repairing them and distributing them to Army and other units serving in lonely spots; and whether he will cause an appeal to be made, that this example might be emulated by others qualified to help in this way?

Mr. Thurtle

My right hon. Friend is grateful to the hon. Member for bringing this activity to his notice: but will await representations from the military authorities before considering any public appeal on the subject.
