HC Deb 19 July 1950 vol 477 c178W
84. Sir R. Glyn

asked the Postmaster-General why the British Broadcasting Corporation publication, "London Calling," containing foreign broadcasts, cannot be ordered by any person resident in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Ness Edwards

The publication "London Calling" gives particulars of the B.B.C. short-wave programmes addressed to English-speaking audiences abroad, both in the Commonwealth and elsewhere. I understand that distribution is confined to overseas subscribers as these programmes are not normally heard by listeners in this country.
