WIRELESS PROGRESS. STATION FOR JAMAICA? In the British House of Commons recently Mr D. G. Somerville gave nolice.’to ask the Secretary of SlaLe for the Colonies whether any decision had yet been reached as to the establishment of a broadcasting station in Jamaica; whether it is proposed, that such station should serve the whole of the West Indies; and whether he would give the scheme every encouragement in order to diminish the reliance of the West'lndies on programmes and radio apparatus from the United States of America. In reply to Mr D. G. Somerville Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister said: “My latest information in the matter is that, following upon a motion in the Jamaica Legislative Council, a local committee was to be appointed to examine the whole question of broadcasting in the colony. Pending the report of this committee and its' consideration by the Government of Jamaica, no decision is being taken as to the establishment of a broadcasting station in Jamaica; but I can assure my hon. friend that I am always anxious to encourage the establishment of such stations in the colonies where circumstances permit. “J, may add that I am informed that recent reports received by the British Broadcasting Corppration show that the direct reception of the daily transmissions from the Empire station at Daventry is now excellent-”
