HC Deb 08 February 1960 vol 617 cc6-7W
56. Mr. Mayhew

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made in the official consultations with the Soviet Government concerning the jamming of the British Broadcasting Corporation's Russian-language broadcasts.

Mr. R. Allan

I am glad to be able to tell the hon. Gentleman that on 3rd February our Ambassador in Moscow was informed that the Soviet Government had decided to stop jamming from 17.00 hours Greenwich Mean Time the same day. I understand that Russian jamming has now stopped.
