Savage stated that the proceedings of Parliament wouid be broadcast through 2YA, but if it i*. ; necessary to increase the transmission of Parliamentary speeches as a result of the public demand independent transmitting arrangements would have to be made. The Government was merely making an inexpensive experiment to ascertain whether the community desired to listen to Parliamentary debates. It was not the Governmvnt's intention to deprive listeners of musical and entertainment over the air, and only selected speakers would be given an opportunity to speak over the air, and only th-e major debates and important statements would be broadcast.
