§ Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the three members of the Broadcasting Board in Malta conduct weekly discussions on political and quasi-political problems while the Labour Party and Nationalist Party are not allowed this privilege; and if he will take steps to give equal facilities to all parties.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThe hon. Member is misinformed.
23WExactly the same broadcasting facilities are available to all political parties in Malta. The Malta Labour Party and the Nationalist Party refused to participate in any Maltese or English language programme organised by the Broadcasting Board and have prohibited their members from participating individually in the Board's broadcasts.
