Surplus Military Wireless Sets

HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 c190W

20. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if facilities have been accorded to Colonial Governments to take over military wireless sets with a view to improving broadcasting facilities in the Colonies.

Mr. Creech Jones

Yes, Sir, the possible uses of surplus military wireless sets to Colonial Governments have been examined. On the whole, however, they have not been found suitable for the purposes and conditions for which they would be required.
