HC Deb 05 July 1965 vol 715 c169W
Mrs. McKay

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make an inter-regional adjustment of the Middle East information services Vote, to allow for the small allocation required for an early morning news transmission in Persian to Iran and Afghanistan.

Mr. M. Stewart

This possibility has been considered recently. Although I agree that an early morning news broadcast in Persian would be advantageous, I regret that for financial and technical reasons it is not practicable to introduce one at present.
