Commander Locker-Lampson
asked the Minister of Information how many times Jews have spoken in British radio programmes on behalf of Jewry since the outbreak of war?
The Minister of Information
(Mr. Brendan Bracken)
I regret I cannot ask the B.B.C. to conduct the laborious inquiry suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend. But I can tell him that British subjects of every denomination have spoken in the programmes of the B.B.C. in denunciation of the vile treatment of Jews in Germany.
Commander Locker-Lampson
Will my right hon. Friend allow me to speak?
Mr. Bracken
I am sure my hon. and gallant Friend will realise that invitations are given by the Governors of the B.B.C. and not by the Government. If he applies to the Governors, I am sure they will consider his application sympathetically.
