HC Deb 10 May 1966 vol 728 cc48-9W
71. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what steps he is taking to improve the reception of British Broadcasting Corporation programmes in Rhodesia; and what evidence he has of the jamming of such programmes by the illegal régime.

Mr. Bottomley

Improvements are being made continuously and we know from letters that our programmes are being heard. There is evidence of Rhodesian jamming of news programmes and commentaries relayed from Francis-town, particularly in the main centres of population, but this jamming is only partially effective.
