Rediffusion System

37.

Mr. Awbery
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the Government-sponsored rediffusion system in Malta is being used to appeal for signatures to a petition to exile the late Prime Minister of the island; and if he will take steps to stop this system being used for this purpose.

Mr. H. Fraser
The rediffusion system in Malta is privately owned, is not Government sponsored and is not being used in the way described.
