HC Deb 26 July 1966 vol 732 c215W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he is satisfied with the performance of the radio station in Bechuanaland in its broadcasts to Rhodesiand if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Hart

Yes, the relay station is performing satisfactorily. There is a good deal of jamming of Francistown broadcasts, particularly political commentaries, within Rhodesia, but it varies in effectiveness according to location. We had expected that jamming would be attempted because this goes hand-in-hand with censorship.
